For anyone that uses their Halifax current account for personal and business use and to who doesn't already know, you can apply for a BBL with Lloyds or Bank of Scotland.
I originally applied for a feeder account with HSBC on the 6th May but I got fed up waiting, so begun looking elsewhere and by chance found out the way for Halifax customers to easily apply for a BBL.
Go to this link and follow instructions: halifaxDOTcoDOTuk /helpcentre /coronavirus /bounce-back-loan-scheme /?LB=3359919513 (replace the DOT's and remove the spaces)

My timescale of applying and receiving loan.
22nd- Applied for Lloyds Business Account through Halifax.
23rd- Account opened and email received with sort code, account number and link to apply for BBL/ Applied for Bounce Back Loan/ Facility email received.
28th- Authentication card and card reader arrive/ Access online bank for first time/ Money in account.

As simple as that. I haven't signed anything or sent them any documents, I've not heard from them since the 23rd.
Money available and transferred. 
Hope this will help.
