Change of account type

Hi all,
I have recently upgraded my account from a basic account to a current account with Halifax. The basic account I had was not on any of my credit reports with any of the credit reference agencies.
Looking
through previous posts I have found there was a problem a few years ago with Halifax updating credit reference agencies about such changes. Does anybody know if this is still the case? Or any idea how long I can expect to wait until my current account shows on my credit report? Thanks.

It’ll be when the bank next sends their update.
Is there a reason for it to be rushed?

Not rushed as such, but I've been offered a money transfer 0% interest and they require my bank account to show on a trans union credit report before it could be accepted. The offer expires on 31 May.0

ive had a basic account with halifax for years and too have upgraded.
However for some reason they always reported it as a current account on all three agencies and not a basic account0
