What about holding both a Halifax RS and a BOS RS? When I log into my Halifax account and try to open a BOS RS it tells me that this product is not available to me ( I have a Halifax RS).
I’ve looked in T’s and C’s but can’t find anything about not holding both?

Try logging into the BoS site and see if it'll allow you to open one.

I assume you have a BoS current account? If so, then apply from within your BoS online area. If you've never registered, try your Halifax log in details...as they work for me.

Thanks both. I've 3 BOS Vantage accounts and I have only ever logged onto them via my Halifax account. I will try to log on via BOS and see if that makes any difference.

I believe you'll have to use your BOS login to apply for BOS products.

One word of warning...I used to use my Halifax login for my Halifax accounts and my BOS for my BOS accounts (logical!) but kept getting system errors and being locked out. BOS said that using both accounts was causing the errors and advised me to only use my Halifax login, and to administer my BOS accounts using it. Since then, no errors.

However, the BOS regular saver posed a challenge. So I quickly used my BOS login, applied, then logged out.

Thanks for all the advice, especially the log in confusion by using both. Will apply via BOS later today and then just use Halifax.

Don't login on the BOS site, just apply for a BOS saver as if you are not an existing customer. If successful, next ttme you login to Halifax you'll see your BOS saver also listed (together with any existing Halifax Regular Savers).

I opened both BoS and Halifax RSs, the latter via a Halifax site. What I find odd is that the Halifax RS and its related Easy Access account appear on my BoS website pages! A useful short cut actually though.

Opened H and BofS RS each through their on sites. Noticed that Halifax is NO w/drawals and BofS IS ok to withdraw - strange

There's still little integration of the bits of LBG. For instance, why,

"Birmingham Midshires is a trading name of Bank of Scotland plc" ?

Their regular saver interest rate has been increased from 2.5% to 2.75% with effect, I assume, from 1/12/17.

They are not continuing the offer of a regular saver and this one matures after 12 months which for me is April 2018. Hopefully that may change!

The Childrens' RS continues.
