When (not if) they convert your HICA you'll have to accept, like the Moneyback account holders this month, that you'll be on the £1/£2 per day usage fees...unless you move to another provider!Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want?

I find it disappointing that Halifax cannot adopt one current account instead of all these different ones. I do not fit neatly into any of them and conseuently I loose out.
Halifax now only offer 2 current accounts:
Reward account, which pays the 5er for 1000 credit, or nothing for less than 1k
Ultimate reward - monthly fee, free insurancey stuff0 -

If you are existing customer and don't apply for overdraft don't think they will search for credit agency, think they uses internal score, I probably have the worst credit record as well as I am not on electrol roll and I got one instantly.0 -
