Switching The One account to Halifax

jellyspots · 18 February 2015 at 4:47PM

Has anyone had any problems with Halifax saying that you won't get £125 to switch as the one account won't change this account to a standard bank account. the one account say that Halifax have to do a partial switch and then they will do the other bit. Can't see anything in Halifax's t&c so think I should still get the £125.
Any comments would be great.

Many thanks

You can't do a full switch from an RBS One Account. You can only do a partial switch. Halifax are right.

You need to ask Halifax. It is possible that The One Account sort code will be excluded from the CASS (which must be used for the offfer).

I can't see it written anywhere though. So your saying I won't get the £125 to switch then?

It says "To qualify for the £125 switching offer ("the offer") you must use the 'Current Account Switch Service'". By implication, an account that cannot be switched using the CASS, will not qualify fo the £125 (whilst one that can, will). Certain sort codes will be excluded from the CASS. Halifax will know whether your account can be switched using the CASS.
