I see the Halifax has now closed
Stand by Me, claimed their bullsh1t box ticking advert.

I had an account with them since 1985, and dealt with some good staff there.

Hopefully the staff have got a decent transfer or settlement.

Yes, you can bank and invest online with Halifax but stand by me there are much better deals online than Halifax ever offer.

I tried to pay some cash at the Lloyds in Market Square a few weeks ago because I thought the Halifax had already closed.

Despite being in the same banking group they wouldn't accept it unless I had a Lloyds card.

Eventually I paid it into my NatWest account and transferred it over.

I think I shall be changing to a different bank that offers a real branch in Stafford. Any recommendations?
