Anyone know whats happend to the interest rates? It used to show what each of your accounts interest rates where below the account number etc but recently they have gone. I know its not that important but it is nice to know what interest rate your getting:o

Thanks

If you search these forums, there have been several threads about missing interest rates on Halifax & BoS internet banking recently - e.g. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2320715

Seems much easier if they had just kept it the way it was:( But have read lots of threads mentioning its something to do with Hbos and lloyds merging systems together or something along them lines

You will find a lot of your options changing in your BOS/HALIFAX accounts due to the integration with the Llloyds systems which are currently taking place :D:D:D:D:D

I noticed on a friend's Facebook page, they were moaning about the number of meetings they were having at his branch on Lloyds integration. Apparently (I couldn't get much information out of him as he didn't listen in the meetings) they will be using Lloyds systems for everything, including in the branch. My assumption is so that this will enable different brand's branches to service each others accounts.

Halifax mortgage systems will be in place for Lloyds TSB branches fairly soon, and the internet banking interface will be brand new for both LTSB and Halifax, but for most other things I believe that it's Lloyds' systems that will be used through the Group.

Seems a shame, as it's just been several steps backwards for Halifax customers so far (with, I suspect, a few more steps backwards to go). Hopefully it's a case of one step back, two steps forwards!

I doubt the interest rate thing has anything to do with Lloyds' systems. People are less likely to know when their introductory interest rate ends if it's not visible on the website - easy way to make a bit of extra money for the bank.

I wonder what's happening with Lloyds TSB Scotland branches with regards to the merging of systems, what with LTSB Scotland being sold off and all.

Interest rates were withdrawn concurrently with the tax status on the accounts (gross or net) being withdrawn! As the latter can't possibly fit with your theory of extra profit for the bank ....... then I think the people who've complained and been told both are related to the merger, are probably right?

You may doubt, but you are wrong.

I suspect they'll remain on the LTSB systems for now. Don't forget a large chunck of the England/Wales network is also earmarked for sale.

I think I heard on the radio that Santander were interested in taking over these branches ... :eek:
(will see if I can find anything further)
