Change in Halifax Credit Card payment details

I normally pay my Halifax credit card by sending a payment from my abbey bank account. The sort code and bank account number I send the payment to are 80-20-45 and 00213765.

I received a new format of statement from Halifax this month and I noticed that there is a different sort code and bank account number to send payments to - 77-29-00 and 00000000.

Can anyone tell me if Halifax have gotten rid of the old numbers and replaced them with these ones? It just seems a bit strange as the old numbers have been used for as long as I know. I just don't want to send my payment to the wrong account!

    I would imagine phoning Halifax and asking them would be the best of most reliable course of action.

    It appears that way.

    OH has had his Halifax card around 3 yrs and recently the sort code/account payee has changed from 80-20-45 -etc- to 77-29-00 00000000.

    My own Halifax card opened around a year ago has always been payable to 77-29-00 00000000.. And they are both Clarity cards.

    Seems like they are all in the same place now, but I note that the contact numbers for notifying foreign travel arrangements on the back of the cards are very different.

    Also OH payment details on our Halifax banking for this card have automatically changed to the new sort code/account numbers.

    Halifax recently migrated their older credit cards over to the newer Lloyds Bank system so I imagine the new bank details would be the ones to use now. The format of PDF statements has also changed since the migration, and there are more options available online like the ability to ask for a credit limit increase for example.

    Lloyds - Tsb Halifax and BoS all part of Lloyds banking group - so they will all use the same back office to process card payments.
