I imagine that the separate banks will keep their individual identities, with some increased co-operation between them. Even with the HBOS thing, the two banks are essentially separate companies, and have kept their individual brands to some extent.

Most bank takeovers go by unnoticed. Did anyone notice or care in 2000 when the Royal Bank of Scotland took over NatWest?

As said above, I think they'll keep their separate identities, and will be run as brands. A bit like when superdrug took over savers a few months ago.
Or maybe they'll jiggle it about a bit, and do what HBOS is doing atm (in england and wales, Halifax as the comsumer part, and bank of scotland for the business part.)

I'm with Halifax for my student account, but unless they end up changing the student account, I see no reason to move.

Anyone noticed how "Llyods TSB HBOS" is an anagram of "Blobs Holds Sty"

Yea thats what I'm thinking, like Natwest......Royal Bank of Scotland own them but they keep their idenities separate......It would be hard to covert all Halifax branches into Lloyds branches...nevermind the cost of doing it.

I suppose this ones soo big because of whats happening to the banks in USA. ''Whos going to go under next?'' And Halifax is Britain's biggest mortage lender and together they will combine to have more than 25% market share = monopoly. The government will be so happy they dont have to bail Halifax out.

I thought Howard was fired???

Made me laugh when I saw the logo....maybe Howard will be hired again, in the future??

I'm with HBOS, and I don't particularly like Lloyds. I won't be moving in the near future though. I actually doubt that they'll keep their own identities. If a town as an HBOS, it will more than likely have a Lloyds and so they will end up scrapping one of the branches, sadly. Their banking licences will probably merge too so that they only have one entry in the FSA.

What a title for a bank, imagine saying that on a night out "I'm just popping off to the Lloyds TSB Halifax Bank Of Scotland cash machine..."

But, seriously, I'm with HBOS, and now I want out. I want nothing more to do with Lloyds TSB since the time I banked with them. Their call staff are rude, their collection centre staff are aggressive and their methods of working are just plain wrong! Oh yeah, and they closed my accounts.

Any other HBOS customers planning to bank elsewhere now?

I'm with HBOS, I wont be moving though coz my mate works there and its handy for getting funds transferred between accounts. He can also do magic tricks where he makes bank charges disappear. :eek:
