Features and benefits

Earn up to 3.00% AER

Earn 3.00% AER/2.96% gross variable interest if 3 or less withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening.

You’ll earn 0.90% AER/gross variable interest if 4 or more withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening. See summary box for details.

How this worksIf you make 3 or less withdrawals within the 12 month term, you’ll get paid the higher rate of interest for the whole term. If you make 4 or more withdrawals, you’ll get a lower interest rate from the month you make the 4th withdrawal until the end of the account year.

Monthly interest

Your interest will be paid monthly, on the same date you opened the account.

Let's break it down

Who it's for

You can open this account if you:

How it works

  • Open with just £1. Save and access your money when you want to.
  • You can transfer money out of the account online but only to another Halifax account in your name. You can withdraw your money in a branch.
  • After 12 months the account will change to an Instant Saver. 

Summary box for the Reward Bonus Saver

  • Earn 3.00% AER/2.96% gross variable interest on balances from £1 if 3 or less withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening.

    Earn 0.90% AER/gross variable interest on balances from £1 if 4 or more withdrawals are made in the 12 months after opening. This lower interest rate will apply from the month you make the fourth withdrawal until the end of the account year.

    We pay interest monthly, on the same date you open your account.

  • Yes. As this account pays a variable rate of interest it can change over time. We’ll always let you know of any planned changes to the rate. Our account conditions (PDF, 210KB) explain when and how we do this. For example, we might review the interest rate if the Bank of England base rate changes.

  • For example, if you deposit £1,000.00 when you open the account and make no withdrawals, the balance after 12 months will be £1,030.00.

    If you deposit £1,000.00 when you open the account and withdraw £10 on the first day of the month for the first 4 months of the term, the balance after 12 months will be £973.75.

    This assumes:

    • you make the deposit on the day you open the account
    • you don’t add any more money
    • the interest rate stays the same.

  • This account can be opened and managed:

    • online
    • in the app
    • in a branch
    • by phone.

    You can open this account if you're:

    Keep in mind:

    • you can have up to five Reward Bonus Saver accounts and name each one
    • you need to open the account in sole name but you can make it joint once it's open
    • you can open this account with just £1
    • if you change your mind, you can cancel the account free of charge within 30 days of opening.

  • Yes. You can make as many withdrawals as you like from this account and there are no charges for doing so.

    You’ll get a higher rate of interest if you make 3 or less withdrawals in the 12 months from opening. If you make 4 or more withdrawals, you’ll get a lower interest rate from the month you make the fourth withdrawal until the end of the account year.

    If making an online transfer, it can only be made to an existing Halifax current account.

    After 12 months we'll change the account to an Instant Saver. Before this happens, we'll contact you to explain your options and next steps.

  • Savings terms explained

    AER

    AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate. Whenever you see an advert for a savings account which shows an interest rate, you will see the AER. This means you can use the AER to compare accounts. It shows what the interest rate would be if your interest was paid and compounded once each year.

    Gross rate

    This means we won’t remove tax from the interest we pay on money in your account. You will need to pay any tax you may owe to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
