Leaving Halifax after 9.5 years!

Posts: 100 Forumite
It's been a productive evening!
I've applied to Santander to transfer my main Halifax Reward account to them so that I can use the 123 account as a savings account for my wedding in 18 months' time.
Meanwhile I've also applied to Yorkshire Bank to transfer a basic current account I have with Halifax so that I can get the £150 switch reward from them.
Fingers crossed that everything will go to plan!

Good luck. Don't forget to switch back to Halifax for £125, and then £60 a year.0

My only concern would be that 11 years "time with bank" would have looked better than 18 months when being scored for the mortgage.
I might be tempted to retain a current account with Halifax (if its not too late).0 -
Already have my mortgage, but due a renewal in December.0

Time with bank generally refers to a current account relationship, in that the alternative question is "how long have you held this (current) account?".Already have my mortgage, but due a renewal in December.
Whenever I'm asked either question I always answer 35+ years, even though my 'main' YB current account is only 6 or 7 years old.0 -
I'd keep the Halifax Reward for the £60 a year it can earn. You can still have a 123 and other current accounts.0
