    Either brand branches can still do a lot of 'servicey' things for the opposite brand for the time being. Some requests involve the staff completing an online form which produces a reference number and then you go in the phone with that reference number. Others, the online form is completed and the instruction carried out by the relevant department within a certain time frame. I think a pin number is the latter, can't quite remember.

    I note that like Lloyds, TSB require both parties to a joint account to attend a branch to prove their identity.
    TSB is going to have to figure out pretty quickly that "go into the branch" is no longer the answer to anything.
    "It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis
