Halifax cash isa 5.7%

williham

Just logged in and been offered 5.7% for up to £3000 of savings, instant access and minimum £1 deposit. Am I missing something? Has anyone else applied?
Thanks!

The product is a Halifax ISA Saver Direct I believe.

I thought this would be one of those 3 year old Lazarus threads

Can't see your interest rate only 0.5%.

Is there a link?

The best I can see is 3.85% fixed for four years or 2.6% ISA Direct Reward.

Six years ago they were offering a 5 year fixed ISA for 5.7%
I think you just fell through a ripple in time.

It's not one of those ones where you have to put an equivalent amount in their dodgy equities product, is it ?

Interesting, Doctor. Also the ISA allowance would have been £3000 back then, as per OP.

Or fell into a spoofed website / phishing scam ...

I wonder if they have a web page cached.
Hope they didn't login from a link :eek:

lol no I was definitely on the halifax website as I use first direct internet banking plus to login to everything (and it wouldn't have been a very good phishing attempt as it didn't ask for many personal details). It was under the "offers for you" section after logging in, not on their normal website. I read all the terms and conditions and couldn't see anything untoward. The £3000 limit is odd admittedly.

I've had this reply to my application:

Mine shows 2.60% on up to £5,100. Sounds like a glitch in their system may have shown you an older message - good luck with getting that rate!

Haha looks like I'm gonna need to send a letter of complaint. Wish I'd print screened it now.
