LLoyds and Halifax 'co servicing'

7sefton

Halifax’s days are numbered as a separate high street brand. 

Likely to go the same way all Woolwich; absorbed into Barclays, kept as a mortgage-only brand, then eventually disappeared and Lloyds will remain south of the border.

So you’re saying one day! All Halifax branches/accounts will move over to Lloyds

When I checked my Halifax credit card yesterday, the "you have logged out" screen came up as a Lloyds screen, which was a surprise.

Might be tricky in Scotland, no Lloyds branches to move to. LBG are busy closing BoS branches, seem daft to rebrand the Scottish Halifax branches to BoS when they've just closed the BoS branch over the road.

Think they'll leave the Scottish Halifax's alone.

All the Halifax branches in Scotland were closed in 2002:

Good grief, had no idea. Thanks, clearly BoS will be their only physical presence in Scotland.

Nah the bank of scotland brand is too historic being the oldest bank in Scotland and issuing its own bank notes to be dropped. It is too much of national importance to be dropped

Yes, think BoS dates from 1695 or thereabouts. If I recall my Scottish history correctly, it had something to do with the failed Darien scheme. A proper disaster, that was. Oops, better not stray into the politics of the Treaty of Union.

This has now gone live today, in my Halifax and Lloyds Bank iOS apps, possibly with the v176.03 update.
