Banking customers who wish to start saving money for an extravagant summer holiday have been alerted to news of two new offers from Halifax.
From February 5th 2007, the financial services provider has announced that any new banking customers who switch to a Halifax current account will be rewarded with a one-off gift of £100.
Moreover, people who sign up to their high-interest current account will also benefit from a total of six per cent gross interest.
By way of comparison, the banking institution points out that this is a superior rate of interest to those offered by any of the big four banks - three of which offer 0.1 per cent interest on current accounts in credit.
Paul Marriot-Clarke, head of banking at the financial services provider, commented on the offers.
"We have consistently attacked the big four banks and we will keep that pressure up," he said.
"There is no reason to accept a poor rate from your bank if you could be earning 60 times more interest with Halifax."
In addition to current accounts, Halifax also offers credit cards, mortgages, personal loans and savings accounts.
