It appears under the interest rate on the individual account screen.

Still there for me.

It doesn't appear on my account that has a decent balance. It does appear where my balance is nominal.

Agreed. My Halifax account has the link showing where the balance has been reduced, but wasn't showing the link previously with a balance.

I know this is an old thread, but has anyone been able to close their accounts online recently? I've got three savings accounts, all with a nil balance and it won't let me close them. All I get is:

There's a problem...

I got that message too so I went to the bank only to be told I need ID to close an account, (they should say that in the online message I think) so I've yet to go back there as always working so haven't had the chance. I wish I could just close it online why is there that option for you then not be able to close it silly.

Works fine for me.

Maybe there's a specific issue with your account.

I've just tried to close my old Halifax savings account and I am also getting:

Its daft, I've got about 3 accounts sitting with a nil balance (I open a new account each year once the introductory interest rate ends) and I can't close any of them without visiting a branch.

I know it sounds daft but have you tried putting a small credit to the account and then trying to close it - it might just be that it won't close the zero balance account
