Halifax £5

I have a Halifax current account which I switch money in and out of in order to get the £5 bonus. What time of month does the £5 get put into the account - is it a standard day (same for everybody) or linked to when you opened the account?
Thanks!
Thanks!

It gets paid on the first business day of each month. So it'll be 2nd July this month but it may not show up online until the next day.0

I say it will start to show from the 3rd this month.0

Guys - thanks for your help - appreciated!0

Lining it up with your other post, the amount paid is actually £6.25 but 20% tax has been deducted.
A 40% tax payer has a further £1.25 tax liability to settle as well.0 -
and of course, if you don't pay tax, you can get the full £6.25 per month0
