Decent (hidden) fixed rate savers from the Halifax app - early closure permitted (with penalty)

186 Posts

Has anyone else noticed that if you check savings accounts via the Halifax app, there are some 'preferential' bonus rates available that aren't visible on the website?
4.2% for a 1 year fix
4.3% for a 2 year fix
This is providing you've had a halifax current account for at least 40 days.
Not quite market leading, but close. As an added bonus you can also close the 1 year account early with a 90d interest penalty and the 2 year early with a 180d penalty. Not plan A for anybody probably but not an option often given for leading rates.

Edit - looks like you need a Halifax current account, judging by the post above.
If you are eligible, have £5k spare (or less if you are already saving with Halifax/BoS, e.g. in Regular Savers) and fancy a flutter in the monthly Halifax Saver Prize Draw, one or both of these accounts could come in useful.
Some people would prefer Halifax (either as an institution or their current account provider)
For example - I've got a small reserve in an HSBC Online Bonus Saver for those very reasons.
