  • I'm not aware of anything in the Halifax T&Cs that require you to stay.

    no time span, you can switch again at any point, but your halifax account will be closed as part of the switch.

    Worth checking the result/affect of opening and closing accounts within a small time frame, may flag suspicion on credit file, or any credit accounts to be opened in the future, (mortgage/CC/Phone Contract/PNPL)

    Keep Halifax for the monthly fiver and simply open a new 123 account. Every reasonable person has at least two current accounts with different banks nowadays.
