Reward Current Account
A new kind of bank account that pays £5 to your pocket month in, month out – it's our way of saying thanks!
At a glance
Isn’t it time your bank thanked you properly for your custom?
We think so, too. That’s why we’ve launched a new bank account that replaces the usual interest payments with something that’s easy to understand – and potentially far more rewarding.
The Reward Current Account works like this:
- We'll give you £5 each month you pay in £1,000, whether you're in credit or overdrawn.
- Our overdraft fees are simple to understand, making it easy to manage your money.
- You get everything you'd expect from a bank account.
Even if you don't pay in £1,000 each month, our Reward Current Account could
still be the account for you. You'll benefit from simple overdraft fees, making
it easy to manage your money, and you'll also receive all the standard features
of our accounts. And in any month you do pay in £1,000, you'll get £5
too.
This could suit you even better…
Apply for an Ultimate Reward Current Account and you’ll receive a great range of benefits. These include peace-of-mind insurance cover, exclusive offers and great rates in return for just £12.50 a month.
Features
Why it pays to bank with Halifax…
- We will give you a monthly reward of £5 each month you pay £1,000 into your Reward Current Account.
Your easy-to-manage overdraft
- You have the option to arrange an overdraft if you need to and you’ll find our overdraft fees are straightforward to understand.
- You pay daily overdraft fees rather than interest, making it easy to manage your money. See the 'Overdrafts' tab for more details.
All the standard features you'd expect from a current account
- A Halifax Visa debit card. Your best way to pay – everyday, everywhere, for everything.
- Use of cash machines, for money in an instant. Withdraw up to £300, get mini statements, check your balance and top up your mobile.
- Access to any of our branches, as well as our 24-hour telephone and online banking service.
- A secure place to pay in your salary and other regular credits. Plus, the facility to set up direct debits so that you can manage your payments with ease.
Your overdraft made easy
Do you know how much interest you pay if you go overdrawn? Not many people do, so we're keeping things simple. We'll use a fixed daily fee that's easy to track. Staying in control of your finances has never been simpler.
Here’s how our Reward Current Account works:
|
If you... |
then we’ll charge you... |
|
use an arranged overdraft up to and including £2,500 |
£1 a day |
|
use an arranged overdraft over £2,500 |
£2 a day |
|
use an unarranged overdraft |
£5 a day |
With a Reward Current Account you won’t have to pay any other fees if you go overdrawn, so you need never worry. It makes perfect sense. What's more, we won't charge you any fees, as long as you pay in enough money to bring your bank account back into credit by the end of the day. As we charge fees on this account instead of interest, the typical rate is 0% EAR.

An important note…
This payment is 'net' of income tax. This means we pay it after
taking off income tax at the rate set by law (currently 20%). If you are a higher-rate
taxpayer, you may have to pay extra income tax on the reward payment. The gross
amount is £6.25. This is the amount before we take off income tax. You may
reclaim tax from HM Revenue & Customs if the amount of tax we have taken off
is more than you have to pay. To find out more visit www.hmrc.gov.uk/incometax.Halifax current
accounts and services are offered subject to status. Overdrafts are repayable on
demand. EAR is the equivalent annual rate. This is the
actual annual cost of an overdraft. This does not take into account any fees or
charges.
