Halifax will be phased out after 173 years as branches and accounts are rebranded under Lloyds, though customer account numbers and sort codes will remain unchanged. Halifax customers will transition to the Lloyds app, with notifications issued through official channels. FSCS protection remains unaffected, and no branch closures are tied directly to the rebranding. Lloyds highlights expanded benefits available under its product offerings, while the change follows prior Bank of Scotland branch closures reported earlier in the year.
