    Does anyone know if a Bank of Scotland current account is treated as an account with a different bank for the purposes of a switch into a Halifax reward c/account for the bonus?

    Getting closer, my last switch incentive was August 2020  when I got £100
    The same here, 12th August 2020.

    Best way to find out is to read the offer when it is released tomorrow.  It will say if BoS is not treated as a different bank, otherwise it should be fine to use BoS.

    When you hold a BOS account and a Halifax account they do appear on each others Web page and you can make transfers between them

    Despite this, CASS'ing in a BOS account has satisfied the condition with recent offers.

    Applied and accepted for the Halufax reward account within 10 mins this morning. Will give it a few days and then switch the Monzo account that I opened last night.

    No 😂, but as I was a previous customer earlier this year, I think was maybe the reason that I didn’t need to send any proofs of I’d. Not received any previous switch offers from them in the last 3 years though, so I will qualify.

    The offer is up on the Halifax website.

    Please forgive them the typos as it's obviously a cut'n'paste job from the last offer and they've missed a couple of dates.
