Halifax Reward Current Account Name

I've just opened a Halifax Reward Current Account for my mom and set her up with Internet banking, but when she logs in, the accounts show as Halifax Current Account, not a Reward Current Account.

Does she need to do anything, or will they change automatically?

    Can't offer too much help, other than that I've just logged into mine and it's listed as:

    Halifax Reward Current Account
    Whilst my posts do not constitute financial advice, I am always, without fail, 100% right! :D

    Yeah, that's what mine say. :(

    Perhaps it'll work itself out in a couple of days...

    From memory they change after 48 hours into Halifax Reward Current Account, so don't panic just yet.

    Also be aware that when I made my first deposit the money shows in the account online, but then vanishes the next day. Then 24 hours later re-appears. This happened on all 3 of my reward accounts, so don't panic.

    I've logged in this morning (Tuesday), 2 days after creating the account, and all is correctly displayed.
