Halifax Packaged Bank Account Refunds

What is a PBA?

What is a PBA or a package bank account or as it is more familiarly known as basically a current account? The banks a number of years ago, always looking for ways to maximise their income stream, decided to charge clients’ money for the operation of current accounts which had always been free of charge. They did so in a way to justify their monthly charge to the account by adding financially beneficial add-ons to justify the charge. Unfortunately many of the add-ons were not relevant to the bank customer and could be quite costly. The main reason why many of the package bank account facilities in operation today and in the past were in fact mis-sold.
