A question about : Lloyds not sending money to Halifax.

I opened an account with Halifax last week and I've been trying to send money to it through my Club Lloyds account online. For some reason its not going through, it will set up the new recipient but not send money of any amount. I've tried sending it to the Halifax c/a and the savings account I set up too, nothing. I can still send money to my RBS account through Lloyds or my oh's Halifax account, but not mine.

Never had an issue like this before so no idea whats going on.

Best answers:

  • Yeah it comes up that, or "your payment was successful" but it wasn't. I've been trying since last night, and still nothing. The Halifax account seams to be up and running fine, apart from no funds, card arrived today, and welcome letter etc last week.
  • Yup no issues doing that. Never encountered an issue like this. It seams to be Lloyds that are refusing to pay. Not sure if calling them would be any use, as I called last week to close my credit card, which they said was done, still open to this day.
  • It's not debited, no. I just set up a new recipient to my natwest account and sent a pound fine. Haven't a clue why it won't send to my Halifax account.
  • As I understood it lloyds -halifax transfers do not go though the external Faster payments process but though some sort of internal in-house -in-group transfer system.
  • Can you send money to your Halifax from a non LBG account, e.g. Natwest?
  • I just sent Ј1 from Lloyds to a Halifax that was opened last Saturday - arrived instantly. So there's no general fault between the two.
    Djene, it isn't something silly like an incorrect sort code / account number?
  • I've checked the sort code and account number. All correct.
  • Try paying cash into it via a branch.
    That might highlight the problem.
  • Send some money from your RBS to Halifax, you will then be able to see with which bank the issue is with.
  • Is the Halifax account a current account?
    I only ask because if it's a savings account there are sometimes limits on the amount some of them can accept.
