The Halifax Easycard account

hstudent

For anyone who's opened this account:

1. Can you make a deposit by card or cheque if opening the account online?

2. Can payment be made in to the account by Standing Order from another account, or does it need to be by BACS?

3. Are Express Pay In boxes available in all branches?

1. Yes - once the account has been confirmed as operating.

2. Yes - BACS and standing order will be accepted, as would Faster Payments.

3. Every branch I've been in. You can also pay in via ATMs.

Thanks for the answers to 1 and 3, but does your answer to 2 mean it's possible to pay in via standing order, or only be BACS?

Standing Orders are currently BACS (and in some cases, Faster Payments)

I've just noticed that the Halifax leaflet says you can pay cheques in by post. Is this free to do or do you have to pay the postage costs?
