Not strictly true. There are a number of old Bank of Scotland accounts that are not on the same system as the Halifax accounts and as a result you can not transact on these in Halifax branches.

All branches in Scotland can process any transaction for a BoS or Halifax customer, branches in England can't offer full service unless they were previously a BoS branch or the account now sits on the Halifax system (you can tell if an account is on the Halifax system if it has a Roll Number i.e. D/12345678-09 or 2/12345678-09). There is an exception to this, but usually only affects business or corporate customers.
