Scotland wouldn't become independent immediately after a no vote. It would remain part of the UK until negotiations were completed. May 2016 has been mentioned as when the official 'change' could happen. I've heard people saying it could be longer.

Ah Thanks!

So I really do have enough time to sort out my finances, if I need to.

Interesting thread, we have a mortgage and current account with Intelligent Finance based in Scotland... Also current account and credit card with Halifax.

I am not worried about security, we have halifax accounts and also smile accounts. Halifax are the main accounts but we have just transferred the bulk of our cash to smile, purely in case of disruption to cash access.

As has been said, if there is a yes vote then Scotland will not become an independent country overnight there will be a transition period of 18 months plus to agree how 'independence' will actually work (or not work) in practice!


Both RBS and Lloyds have indicated that they will move their registered offices to England should there be a yes vote, I believe the plans for both RBS and Lloyds will also include the Nat West and Halifax brands respectively.
