Halifax accounts online
 

hello!! i have current account with halifax, and i need to open some more accounts online for amazon payouts, as i want to create more stealth amazons . what type of account am i supposed to open, and how do i do it ? :o

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

if you already have current acc and online access,it ll be easy for you to open savings acc.those works well with pp.

Hi but does a savers account require the funds coming from your name. Ie your stealth account name would need to be same as the savers account. Unlike a current account to my knowledge when withdrawing funds.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

Savers accounts are fine for mismatching name deposits.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

Only add the account 48 hours after you create the bank account to avoid any glitches. As it happens a lot.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

The Halifax online saver will do the business - only trouble is you have to close it in branch if the stealth account fails

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

I'm fairly sure Halifax savers can now be closed online. This option was certainly available the last time I checked.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

Only some Halifax savings accounts can be closed online and balances have to be less then 5 quid or less.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

They were Online Savers that I closed online. This was about 4 months ago. Balances were transferred to others Halifax accounts before closure.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

Haliax Savers can be closed online...however sometimes I've found you have to wait like 3-4 months until it lets you close them.

Not sure why... may be a glitch?! I get this probably a 3rd of the time with their online savers.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

Yep online savers and easy savers you can close online. I do it often lol..

Everyday savers you battle to close online.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

I'm struggling to close mine down online - is there a live chat bit that I cannot find, like with RBS and natwest? Or do I close them down another way?

Thanks

This.

Also as you are already with Halifax, they are super easy in terms of online account openings. Superb service

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

All banks I deal with here in North Am need you to come in and sign document to close an account - I would not expect it differently in the UK...just fyi from my experience

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

rsot things are very different in the UK, more and more banks now allow you to close online.

With both Natwest and Halifax you can close savers online.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

It is with some banks.

HSBC you have to go into branch (at least as of 3 months ago), but Smile, Halifax, Natwest and a few others you can close over the phone or online.

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

Thanks for the tips - wasn't aware this was the case with all these banks

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

You can close HSBC savers through sending a secure message in online banking. Takes 3-5 days.

Halifax and Lloyds are the same bank. Once I opened Halifax and it was automatically added to my PayPal without no of my action!

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

No way your Halifax bank account would be automatically added to PayPal without you doing so. Not a chance that can happen.

Lloyds, Halifax and Bank Of Scotland are part of the same group. Only real issues have been had with Lloyds though

Re: Halifax accounts online
 

would have to talk to my colegue, but I remember for sure 100% that sometheng happen that made us believe it's the same bank. we did something with Lloyds and the same thing was done with Halifax automatically without any of our action. Can't remember 100% but I think it was Hal added into pp.
