Hiya ladies and gents,

I have a Santander account and I also have a Bank of Scotland 'Cardcash' account.

Could you guys confirm that the HBoS are 100% unconnected to Santander?

Cheers,

Sim.

    The legal entity of HBOS plc still exists and is the employer of tens of thousands of staff!

    As you rightly state though, it is very much a part of Lloyds Banking Group (although for the benefit of the OP, the Bank of Scotland banking licence covers the old HBOS brands, but not the Lloyds TSB brands).

    No, BoS is in no way connected to Santander.
