    Halifax is £2 per month, with a £135 switch offer (£50 of which comes fast)
    Don't have enough for their prize draw.

    Barclays will become £7 a month for a £4 fee after August 2nd, so £3 a month. Extra available if you buy Barclays products, plus some cashback, neither of which I use.

    Both will require 2 DD

    Since a Barclays switch offer currently isn't available, Halifax beats it except for the very long term. Without switch, Barclays is £1 a month better.

    Of course long term, the offers might change.

    I've been happy with customer service from both banks.

    This is not investment advice.
    Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."

    I receive both (although in Halifax's case I transfer money in especially and move it out a day later). All I can say it's worth having if you qualify. The Barclays cashback is occasionally good - I recall making good money back on Christmas shopping with Argos a couple of years ago - but always check the likes of Top Cashback first, as they'll often be the better option.


    Get what you can, when you can!
