A&L are the Giro Bank
, Halifax are not a clearing bank how ever their owners Bank of Scotland are so you could use them.
You are rather confused aren't you?
Bank Giro Credit
A paper instrument addressed to a bank branch instructing it to credit a specified sum of money to a named account at that branch. A bank giro credit is not a payment instrument, i.e. it cannot be used on its own to make a payment but must be accompanied by cash or cheque.
Girobank was a financial institution founded in 1968. It started as Post Office Giro but went through several name changes: National Giro, National Girobank and, finally, Girobank.
Established by the Post Office, its operations are now part of the Alliance & Leicester Group, and it is no longer trading under the Giro or Girobank names.
