    Just a quick question please...

    I opened my Halifax a/c, switched with 2 DDs etc, credited with £750. Now Halifax have given me my £100. So my question is.... Is that it? Can I now switch back out somewhere else taking my incentive money or do I have to keep doing my £750 transfer for a certain number of months? I didn't bother with the Reward a/c, just the basic.

    Hello a quick question before I switch,
    In the T&C it says:

    Use the 'Current Account Switch Service', to switch into a new or existing Halifax Current Account, Reward Current Account or Ultimate Reward Current Account ("your account").
    Use the 'Current Account Switch Service' to transfer all the active credits and debits from the bank account that you hold with another bank and close this account.

    On the account I want to switch I don't' have any bill payments or anything going out of it.

    Will I still qualify for the £100 incentive.

    Many thanks!

    I've had two current accounts to switch recently. My switch to first direct went with out a hitch and I'm very impressed with the service so far. My switch of another account to Halifax was frought with problems from the off and customer service was awful so I cancelled the new account with them almost immediately.

    Now I have to decide where to switch the other account to.

    What are you asking them to switch then?

    The account?

    They will transfer any balance to new account, close the existing account and for a period of 13 months any payments requested in or out of the old account will be redirected to the new account.
