Halifax £100 switching offer returns
Halifax has announced the return of its market-leading switching initiative for people who move their current account to the bank.
New customers to Halifax will receive £100 on the same day they open the account and commence the switching process, and won't pay any fees on planned overdrafts for six months, even if they have an existing overdraft with their existing bank.
Anthony Warrington, director of Halifax current accounts, says: "When we launched this initiative at the beginning of the year we saw huge demand from customers moving their current accounts to Halifax. As a result we have decided to bring this popular campaign back for a limited period.
"By switching to a Halifax current account customers will earn £100 and can also save overdraft fees and charges as they won't have to pay any overdraft fees for six months.
"Some people think it is tricky to move their current account but we make the switch to Halifax really straightforward and our switching service provides real peace of mind."
Wide-ranging benefits
Customers switching to a new Halifax current account can choose from a wide range of innovative products, including the Reward Current Account and Ultimate Reward Current Account.
New Halifax Current Account customers can now benefit from the following features:
Six months fee free planned overdraft
£100 credited to the new account on the day that they start the switching process
Customers choosing a Reward or Ultimate Reward Current Account can request a personalised debit card at no cost
All account details provided at opening, with the ability to start banking online immediately
A dedicated switching team to provide support throughout the process
A service to transfer all direct debits and standing orders
A service to transfer credits, including salary or pension credits
To use the switching service, customers need to move all of their regular debits (at least two Direct Debits) as well as their regular credits, but they do not need to hold any other products with the bank in order to benefit. Halifax also guarantees it will help customers to move to another bank if they are not satisfied with the service that they receive.
