£50 cashback and £5 a month available instantly from some Halifax branches, pop in!!

The email alert this week states you get £50 cashback via a cashback site for switching your bank account to Halifax, While this is true there may be a far simpler way!! usually for limited periods you can get the same deal in your local branch so PLEASE check first!! You get personal service and the £50 credited that day!!! Far more efficient!!

The criteria to transfer and recieve the £50 is to transfer your salary, and your direct debits( atleast two) from your existing provider. We have a dedicated switching team that do the switching for you for free.

The reward account gives you £5 per calendar month you credit £1000 or more.

Aswell as this, the email failed to mention for being a main banking customer you may benefit from the rewards package which includes preferential rates and/or benefits for mortgages, savings, and credit cards all subject to status of course!

I know Cambridge branch are offering this for a limited time as i work there!!

Hope people find this helpful!

Many thanks

    Hi, bankingbuff,

    I already have 2 X Reward Accounts and a joint URCA that we use as a bill-paying account.

    I am interested in switching my main account to the Halifax to take advantage of this offer. Would I still be eligible to do this even though I am not opening up a new account ?

    Also, might you have any knowledge whether any Belfast branches are offering this incentive, or must I go into the branch to ask them myself ?

    Many thanks.

    All Halifax branches are offering this. The restrictions on spending budgets to promote the transfer service have been removed for the foreseeable furture.

    Yes, you would. The £50 is for using the Automated Account Transfer Service (AATS). This can be on a new account or an existing account. As long as you are transferring one credit and at least two debits you will be eligible for the £50.

    I'm not sure if the same applies on these online promotion/cashback sites, but this is certaintly the case in branch.
