Halifax Offering £100 To Switch To Them

altyfc

Couple of questions if you'd be so kind, guys and gals...

1) can I do this with both my account and my wife's account? or is it limited to one per address?

2) does the 6.1% apply, regardless of the balance of the account (obviously assuming it's not overdrawn!)

Thanks.

2 dense questions here

- If I paid in 500 quid could I then take that back out, put it back in somewhen during the month and have that count as my 1000 for the month?
- Define a month. Can't see it in the small print but if I opened it today (7 Feb) is a month a certain number of days or by 7th of next month or whatever?

Moonbeam,

Do you happen to work for either Halifax of BOS? I have just applied for the Halifax account for £100, but you seem to be definitely saying that you can't have both HAlifax/BOS. Would I be definitely wasting my time? I do have another "free" current account I could use for the purpose.

My partner wants to open an account with halifax but she would rather go into the branch rather than do it online will she still get the £100,and what if you dont have any standing orders or d-debits to transfer will you still be able to claim?

It is a condition that you use their switching team, you'll not get £100 for JUST opening an a/c !

Hi

If my hubbie and I have a joint account can I open a single halifax account,use the switching team but not switch all the d/d etc if they don't relate to me? ie maybe just switch 10 d/d ors/o that are mine and mine alone?

I'm thinking of signing up for this offer but I would like to keep my salary going into my A&L account and then transfer 1000 out each month - is this possible?

On the website it says:

2. Switch your Direct Debits, standing orders and automated credits (like your salary) to your new account

Does this mean that they will automatically transfer my salary from A&L to Halifax?

Thanks

I've gone for this,

They said they give you a FEE £1000 overdraft for the first 3 months to make sure all DD and standing orders are paid.

Just 1 of my standing orders is £1000

Hy husband is with Royal Bank Of Scotland and wants a new bank account.

Can he apply for a current account with Halifax and transfer everything, then get the £100?

He earns over £1000 a month.

Thanks

Yes - Royal Bank of Scotland is a different bank (they own NatWest), Halifax is part of HBOS (Halifax Bank of Scotland) group.
