...you my opinion of the Halifax Websaver. What is it? ~~~~~~~~~~~ The Halifax websaver is an online based savings account from (funnily enough) the Halifax. What are it's features? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The websaver has many interesting features. Firstly you can give yourself different "pots" which you can name individually. This is basically like having several different accounts, but named which makes it more personal. How about "Bills Bread ...
...amounts of years and the Halifax offers 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, 4 year and 5 year bonds. The rates for the bonds are quite good too (See rates) Lastly transfering money is very easy and you an also set up standing orders online. If you are transfering between two halifax accounts it is even easier and is done almost instantly. How fast is it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transactions always seem to be completed very quickly, especially if ...

...for 24-hour telephone banking with Halifax before you can go ahead and use Halifax-Online. Which is puzzling in many ways as 24-hour banking is normally standard with most banks and is not normally something you need to register for. However it does not take long, and customer services seems to be fairly good. Key in your sort code and account number along with the specific digits requested from your telephone banking security number and continue ...
...various other services online with Halifax too along with a WebSaver account which I have just recently setup. The idea is simple, with WebSaver you can setup various savings accounts with various options available to you in terms of the length of time you cannot use the money and various rates of interest. Each time you setup a new saver account you give it a personal name. i.e. Holiday Savings. Then you select the terms you would like on the ...

Review of Halifax Online Banking

I joined Halifax Online last year and have had no problems with it. I am able to access my current account details 24 hours a day and every time I have tried to access the service it has been successful - I have never known the service to be down. In order to register for the service you need to have a Halifax Current account and to have registered for their telephone banking service. This may seem strange, but what they do for extra security is ...
...not even the operators at Halifax Direct know all your details so the system is really secure. Anyway, back to Halifax Online - you can view an up-to-date statement, and I mean UP TO DATE - if you go to a cash machine and take out some money it appears immediately on your transaction list. You can view and delete your direct debits, set up bill payments, pay bills, transfer money between accounts - basically pretty much everything you can do on ...

Later in this opinion I will review all of the safety features provided for you. Firstly though I would like to explain the easy use of registration. - Registration - By visiting http://www.halifax-online.co.uk you can simply register for free, and you must provide the essential details. Such as, Address, Telephone etc. Now ...

Now if you are all ready set up with Websaver a list of all of your sub-accounts will be displayed. If not, the list will be blank. This means that you have not got 1 or ...

Give ‘em a bell, do the usual security checks (one of which requests a six digit PIN number) and hey presto – you’re in! Using your telephone keypad and the automated menu system, you can access whatever personal account information need – all at the push of a button. Also, should you need further ...

Review of Halifax Online Banking

I have had a Halifax Web Saver account since it was first introduced online. It is the best account I have ever had. I chose it because i am the kind of person that uses the computer a lot and this appealed to me because of how much time I spend on the Internet. The first thing that made me think, “ I have to have that” was simply the fact that it was new, online and exciting. When you sign up online you can choose to have the Web Saver account with ...

If you have other Halifax accounts these can be added to your Web Saver Portfolio so you can access them online and view statements etc. Direct Debits and Standing Orders can be set up on your account if you require them. You can also transfer money between your accounts online or create transfers to other people i.e. your boyfriends/girlfriends account. You can only deposit money into these account of course, withdrawal is only available ...

The Halifax has excellent on-line banking. You chose a password, account sign in name and you answer some questions when you sign up for online banking with them which are security questions that when you sign in you have to answer that they pick to ask.

They also get a welcome pack and moneybox to collect their money before putting it in their bank accounts. They get a bankbook ...

After delaying their internet service a number of times they are STILL having problems.

I have been unable to logon to the web site ever since ...

Although I am extremely unhappy with their service, the "plan" is fantastic. What it's basically about is linking the money you owe with the money you have saved in order to maximise interest received, or minimise the interest you pay. For example if you have ...
