So I guess we`ll have watch this space then

Hope they don't scrap the free fiver for existing account holders

Argh they're totally Lloyds.

It now takes you through an overdraft no more of putting in 9999 and forces you to actual apply

It won't let you upgrade if you're already on reward as it says already at highest value.

Hate it. Bye HBOS

In Halifax login they have different accounts and include the Urca as well but no option to upgrade anymore

So seems we're following Lloyds lead then. Sad real sad

Can I ask what is so wrong with Lloyds?

Im not very clued up, I've always had a BOS account which i'm assuming is now a HBOS. I have a reward account, ISA reward at 2.6% and a Credit Card. What compications am I likely to have if they are merging with Llyods?

Thanks for advice!

Offers have gone as well.

It also says when you try and apply for a new account "sorry we can't offer you a secondary account"

Lloyds nearly went bust, they killed tsb, they have mis sold more ppi than any other bank, are largely owned by you and I and in my opinion should be past tense; closed/busted whatever.

Am disgusted what HBOS did this weekend. I don't want to use Lloyds.

Nothing is wrong with Lloyds. As far as I am aware Halifax data is not being merged with lloyds data and the two are seperate.

They are just now using the same system, but on two different servers or partitions so the data is seperate.

Oh they've merged alright. Its totally Lloyds. Everything about it is rubbish now

Are you implying it's just bos that's changing and not hfx?

They only went that way because they were forced to take over Halifax by HMG.

They should have went bust like any other business would have.
