Halifax Personalised Debit Cards

I have seen a website that allows you to add a personalised picture to your Halifax debit card free of charge (http://www.halifaxphotocard.co.uk/), I was wondering if anyone knows if this is legit?

I can't find a link from Halifax's website anywhere, and as it isn't a halifax.co.uk page, I'm sceptical as to whether it is actually Halifax's site. I keep meaning to give them a call and find out, but I was wondering if any of you guys were familiar with it or have used it?

    I think there was an issue with the link before and the halifax requested for its removal off MSE as the service was only available to invited customers or something....

  • Just called the banking helpline 08457 203040 - they confirmed that although this isn't really advertised it is a genuine service and is on Ultimate Reward accounts and Student only.

    Just ordered mine :)
    Image criteria is pretty strict though!

    As above ...

    " If you've got a Halifax Ultimate Reward Current Account or a Halifax Student Current Account"

    That rules me out on my reward current account & many others as well.

    Seems a bit unfair - Barclays are doing this for all customers, I've got one on my Cash Card Account with them and it's fab :) wouldnt mind my nasty green EasyCash Electron being able to be personalised :)

    To be fair to Halifax - the first customised card is free. Barclay's charge..
