Paying in - BoS & Halifax

JustAnotherSaver

Perhaps a daft question but since they both show up when i log in to my Halifax online account...

Can you pay in to your Bank of Scotland account in a Halifax bank?

I would expect no, but like i say, since my BoS accounts are showing up when i log on to my Halifax account, i thought i'd just ask anyway.

Yes. Unless the Halifax branch is in Scotland.

It should work the same in reverse unless the Halifax branch is in Scotland.

Looks like they moved the goal posts.

Went in this morning to pay in, went straight to the self serve cash machine.

I forget word-for-word what the message was but it basically said i couldn't pay in there with that card.

I was paying in for my sister actually (who also has Halifax & BoS accounts) so i had to pay the money in to my Santander across the street & transfer to her via online banking.

Bit of a faff but same end result.

I think you should have tried the counter.

I'd have expected the paying in machine & the counter to offer the same service. After all, i was only paying in. Nothing technical.

Except just about every transaction in a bank is "technical".

Use the counter next time.

Really?

I'd have thought paying in would've been a simple thing to be done.

Wanting to start messing about with credit card details or mortgages on the other hand (for example) less so.

They all need technical equipment.

Yours was clearly a non-standard transaction across brands. A cashier could have sorted it for you.
