    Most of the accounts will not pay bonus when you close your account within the terms of your account which I believe. The "bonus" normally attracts investors to stay the full term (a year).

    How many withdrawals did you make?
    None since i opened it! I had never made a withdrawal from the account....

    The thing is, I shouldn't have closed it... i should have instead made a withdrawal for the majority of the balance but not actually closed the account. But you cant possibly have a situation where a closure is a withdrawal, yet continue to put money into the account... weird huh?

    Who told Halifax to close the account?
