This was mentioned lots of times on this thread, everytime someone with an existing account asked how to change. It's advice I followed twice.

I also had the 31 October message, directing me to Lloyds. It will be a sad day when my 8% Halifax RS matures in 11 months from now 😭. I might also not be able to get an 8% Lloyds RS when my two current Lloyds RSs have both matured but I decided to leave them take their course as they will pay me a lot more interest than the 8% one, mainly because I can get £650 into them every month.

I'm getting fed up of the why do you care, why you worrying etc comments recently, people care, concerned etc, you might not but that's you.

Big banking group, big changes, people going to ask questions etc.

From a business point of view it must make sense to get rid of Halifax otherwise Lloyds wouldn't bother but that doesn't mean people's points aren't valid

Ive begun to pop people on 'Ignore' - works better than getting annoyed at a decent thread.

Principality don't currently have an app I believe so not an option

Maybe because Halifax is changing to Lloyds?, Bank Of Scotland isn't changing to Lloyds?

I believe some people got invited to try a Principality app but I haven't so it's probably classed as beta (so a test version & possibly very buggy) so therefore not a full public release

You shouldn't need to wait, you can view all your accounts in any of the 3 apps by default, you can also get help in any of the 3 apps, the only thing you can't do for example is apply for a Halifax account in Lloyds or Bank Of Scotland app, you must use the correct app to apply for a certain brand account.

Obviously days are limited for applying for any Halifax branded accounts but yea.

Ahh I'm fine to do it Friday, I already mentioned about habit in regards to 1st of the month, general rule of thumb is to open and fund a regular saver at end of month then again the start of every month going forward to maximise interest gain

Halifax

That wasn't my 'objection'. It was your claim "The terms and conditions are irrelevant", which is wrong.

Several people spoke to customer services and were told there was some kind of glitch in the application process which blocked new customers, and they didn't expect the issue to be sorted before the end of the month.

And we haven't got to the end of the month yet.

Meanwhile the Summary Box for the Halifax 8% regular saver still says "New customers open online only". Which was the point I was making - if Halifax have decided not to accept new customers then the Summary Box should be corrected. This is a fact, and not a 'prediction'.
