Halifax to Lloyds switch

[thebraketester]

I see that the Halifax stuff is going to be migrated over to Lloyds. Has anyone done this already, especially with regards to S&S ISAs?

Thanks.

What do you think will change other than the name of the provider of the account.

It s a branding exercise. So mostly blue backgrounds to green and a few black horses here and there.

The biggest change will be transition to the Lloyds banking app, but again it s pretty much the same app re-skinned.

my I-web account has recently transferred to ScottishWidows. both part of Lloyds.

There is no functional change to the website. Bar branding, its identical.

Had an email to move to the Lloyds banking app, haven’t done it yet

If it’s anything like Halifax moving its credit cards to visa a few months ago it will be a PITA

Ohh no... :-( I hope not.

I have a Halifax Clarity card that I only use abroad, and when I got notified of this change I just downloaded the Lloyds app and my card worked perfectly well last week on holiday.

With the credit card thing, I was abroad, I hit a message to say they are changing over in a couple of months but my old card would work until then.

How wrong they were, lots of automated payments failed, the new card was at home in the UK so I couldn’t get the details. Then when I could get the number the new card failed on some occasions.

I too have one which runs out next month. I got the replacement thru the post yesterday, and it's another Halifax card. I was expecting a Lloyds version. I also have a Revolut card for abroad and a Lloyd's world elite card, so in truth the clarity card isn't really needed now.

I might take the opportunity to bin off my Halifax card and just use the generic card I have from my main bank which now seems to have no fees/restrictions on travel usage (which was the main reason of getting the Halifax card).

(Assuming the new LLLoyds card comes with a new card number).

I have the same but I haven't had the 'invitation' to move to Lloyds yet. It says on my previous messages that it's happening in October.

The functional change to i-web was various TradePlan features being removed. Maybe coincidence it happened after the rebrand, maybe not.

I had an email today about my ISA. What to do. What I can do etc....

halifax has been just a lloyds brand for years now. It's not a real change.

[WayOutWest]

If you already had Lloyds internet banking for another account you would have seen your Halifax accounts showing on there already ages ago.

[limmy01]

It was a straightforward move over to the lloyds app, also all halifax cards are still working here and in Europe

[thebraketester]

Yes. Marvellously uneventful.

Fixed that for you It's supposed to have been a seamless switch to 'co-servicing'. However I'm now three months into unsuccessfully trying to get them to merge my Lloyds and Halifax profiles. Now escalated to an official complaint as I can't afford to lose access when they shut down the Halifax systems. I'm sure I'm in a small minority but it's been an absolute stshow from my POV
