Frequently asked questions:

When will I receive the £175? The offer will be paid directly into your account within 10 working days of you starting your switch and will appear as a cash credit.

As an existing Halifax customer can I qualify for the £175 offer? Yes, as long as you haven’t received cashback from us since April 2020 and you complete your switch using the Current Account Switch Service to switch a bank account held elsewhere.

Do I need to open a new account if I already have a Halifax bank account? No, as long as you are switching into one of the qualifying accounts named in the terms and conditions.

Can I change my existing account to one of the qualifying accounts and still receive the offer? Yes, as long as you change the account before you start the switch, you can do this by signing in to Online Banking or using the Mobile Banking app.

To qualify for the offer do I need to complete the switch at the time of opening my new bank account? No, as long as you start your switch by the 19th December 2022, you can complete your switch at a later date through Online banking or on our mobile app.




Unfortunately not for me as I had £125 in November 2021. :'(

    So if I have a reward account I can open an ultimate reward and get £175? I wonder if they will credit check?

    You can switch - an account elsewhere -  into your existing reward account, no need to open another, ultimate or not.

    (you can't switch your reward to ultimate reward though, as that's not switching).

    So if I switch an account into my existing reward account that's enough to get the bonus? If so how do I do that?

    Read the terms and then follow the instructions on the Halifax website - https://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/current-accounts/reward-current-account.html - scroll to Switching to Halifax, click on it to expand it, follow the instructions for Day One, which will start by asking you to login. You'll need the details of the account you're switching.

    Not sure I understand your question. The top bullet does not require a new account. 

    The incentive is for switching in an account to a new or existing reward/ultimate reward account. It is clear in the terms that existing customers with a reward account are eligible.  All you have to do is switch an account elsewhere in. You don't need a new account to do a switch. 

    Read the instructions on the Halifax page (see my previous post!).
