Halifax RS in lloyds branch.

I opened  a Halifax Regular saver recently but don't have a current account  with them.
 I seen on the Beeb today that in the near future you will be able to use all high street branches within the Lloyds banking group(Lloyds Halifax and BoS.) for your  everyday  banking.

So will it be possible  to open accounts  with the other brands in different  branches?

Don't see why not, given the goal is for any LBG branch to deal with any LBG customers, but obviously it remains to be seen how the proposed changes are actually rolled out in practice. Given how easy it is to open accounts online though, I suspect the number of people who want to do this might be fairly low.

Guessing it's because of branch closures?, in the same way that you can use NatWest or RBS to deposit/withdraw etc?

I actually had a lot  of difficulty  opening my halifax RS via my mobile, but luckily, I had a halifax branch in town that sorted it all out.
In said town, there is a nice Lloyd's  branch, but going forward, l got a suspicion that the halifax  will get the chop being a small branch.
