At some stage in our lives, we’ve all had financial questions we wanted answered. What is a current account and how do I open one? Might be two of these. At Halifax, we make sure our current accounts are as simple and straightforward to understand as possible.

There’s no easier way to manage your money than with a current account. But at Halifax, we understand that once you’re set up with an account, you probably won’t want to think about it every day. We also know, however, that you’ll want the peace of mind that all those important banking features will be there when you need them.

So open one of our current accounts and you’ll be able to access it through our dedicated 24-hour telephone and online banking service. Perhaps you need to pay a bill or transfer money at 4am, cancel a direct debit, standing order or regular payment, or maybe even just check your balance.

Of course, no matter how integral to our daily lives the internet becomes, we’ll always need ways to buy things on the move. So you’ll get a Visa debit card with your current account. It’s the handy way to pay for things. You can also use it to withdraw money at thousands of cash machines, and to pay in money at Halifax and Bank of Scotland cash machines. And there’s always the option to speak to someone face-to-face about your money at one of our many branches.

At Halifax, our current accounts come with a straightforward overdraft facility (subject to status). If things are starting to look a bit tight at the end of the month or you have an unexpected expense, you can use your overdraft to tide you over. Our overdrafts come with a fixed daily fee, meaning they’re easy, simple and straightforward to track.

Want a little extra from your current account? Then you’ll want to upgrade to our Reward Current Account, which gives you £5 every calendar month you pay in £1,000 or more. The Ultimate Reward Current Account gives you access to a range of additional benefits, including worldwide multi-trip family travel insurance and AA Breakdown Cover, all for £15 per month.

If you’re still unsure which option could be best for you, then you’ll want to compare bank accounts on our website. Here you’ll also find loads of useful guides and money management tips – but don’t hesitate to give us a ring or visit one of our branches if you need a little extra help in getting the current account that’s right for you.
