If in any month you miss out on the £2 reward, you can still get it in future months too (when you meet the qualifying requirements above).
When we pay you the £2 Reward we are required by legislation to pay tax of £0.50 to HMRC on your behalf, so the gross reward is £2.50. The tax paid is 20% (current basic rate of income tax) of the gross amount. If you are a higher rate or additional rate taxpayer it is your responsibility to pay any additional tax due.
If you’re opening an account and you switch your main current account to Halifax, we’ll give you an arranged overdraft with no daily arranged overdraft fees, subject to status, for the first six months. After this time, daily arranged overdraft fees will apply based on the account you’ve chosen.
If you change your account to another current account within six months, then the fee free arranged overdraft offer will end and daily arranged overdraft fees will apply based on the account you’ve chosen.
At the start of your current account application we’ll ask you if you would like to apply for an arranged overdraft. If you say yes, subject to approval, we’ll tell you the maximum arranged overdraft we can offer you. Arranged overdrafts are repayable on demand.
If you use your arranged overdraft, you’ll pay a daily arranged overdraft fee over your fee-free amount (if your account has one). The daily arranged overdraft fee is 1p for every full £6 you borrow up to £1,250, 1p for every further full £7 you borrow between £1,250 and £2,500, and then a further 1p for every full £8 you borrow over £2,500.
REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE
If you use an arranged overdraft of £1,200 on your Reward Current Account then we’ll charge you a daily arranged overdraft fee of £2.
