The 3 logos on startup and integrated banking make me think they're going to get rid of Halifax soon. It makes no sense to have 2 or 3 branch networks anyway, even though the banks have engineered this themselves.0

Halifax is just a trading name for Bank of Scotland, so in theory they could easily drop Halifax and rebrand everything as BoS. However, I think that's unlikely because Halifax is a strong brand in the North of England, whilst BoS is virtually unknown outside Scotland. Many English customers would just confuse it with RBS, and you can imagine the chaos that would cause
It would be a lot more difficult, but not impossible, to move Halifax customers to Lloyds as it's a separate bank. It would mean taking half of BoS's customers, and moving them to a different bank. Unless they close BoS down completely, but then the Scottish Nationalists would be in uproar.2 -

TBH I get on better with Halifax than I do with Lloyds0

What's better about Halifax, is it the customer service? The apps are the same, so that shouldn't make any difference.0

I used to be able to see my Scottish Widows retirement fund on both the Halifax and Lloyds apps. This facility has now disappeared0

Just checked again and Scottish Widows info seems to have been restored0
