Just watching the news.  The Halifax has been sold for £12B to llyods tsb.  Does that mean the whole group of companies or just the Halifax.

I understand that it is the full group, that is why there will be branch closures, apparently.

Lloyds TSB has bought HBOS, so thats Halifax, Royal Bank of Scotland, and any others which are part of HBOS.

I thought that would be the case but all they kept mentioning was the Halifax.

Course they will, Media will focus on that as its much more of a house hold name. More scare mungering too as lot of people have mortgages with them too.

Bear in mind that your savings are only guaranteed by legislation upto 35K across the group.  If you have more than that in one institution, spread it around, methinks....

In these times it's not a question of being a "fan", it's a question of knowing where to safely deposit your assets. My personal advice is to keep your accounts where they are, for I can't think of a safer alternative than Lloyds at the moment. Mind you, I've banked with them for more years than I care to admit and can't say I've had any real problems.
