Switch from Halifax to BOS?

This might be a silly question, but is it possibly to switch from Halifax to Bank of Scotland, using the switching service? Aren't they technically the same bank? I want to switch to BOS to make use of the Vantage service, which Halifax don't offer.

    They are actually the same bank. On internet banking/app you can see both accounts from either.

    Why do a switch? Just open the BoS Vantage account, or accounts;) and if you really don't want to keep your Halifax account, switch it somewhere which pays a switching incentive:)

    No need for any DDs on BOS Vantage.
