New Halifax Account Range?

jen245

Following on from the FP thread, the Halifax website has a notice advising that the current bank account range is no longer available, and a new account range is available from the 12th September. Any insiders able to give any insight on what's going to be on offer?

Reward account holders will have to upgrade to Reward Plus @ £7/month to get their £5 if they deposit £1500.

Only joking. I hope.

All savings are going/changing. BOS are loosing reward/urca in favour of lloyds-style AVAs. HFX are keeping current accounts as they are.

No accounts that are already open will be changed over, though.

Hmm, but the Halifax website seems to suggest that their current accounts are changing aswell http://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/

Will they use Lloyds or HBOS score criteria and systems for internal scoring and stuff?

Anyone know?

The halifax accounts are changing too so the website suggests...

Savagej told us about this ages ago.... However everyone gave him/her a hard time saying it was a load of cobblers.

I think alot of posters may owe Savagej an apology because they was clearly correct. ;-)

All I'd suggest is that Bank of Scotland customers wanting to open an URCA or Reward account should do it in branch on Friday - unless it's already too late!
