	Halifax
		Halifax is negotiating a £27bn merger with Bank of Scotland, which will create the fifth largest bank in the UK and enable Halifax to expand further into current accounts and business banking.

	Building Societies
		Building societies are owned by their members for the benefit of both saving and borrowing members.
		Building societies are mutual societies, are owned by their members for the benefit of members, that is of both savers and borrowers alike.
		Customers cease to be members of a building society and become customers of a bank, thereby losing the right to elect board members, and have a say in the management of the institution by attending annual general meetings and voting on key issues.

	Halifax Building Society Demutualisation - ASA Complaints (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		At Halifax Car Insurance we guarantee you'll get a policy that suits you and your pocket..." The complainant objected that the advertisement was misleading because the advertisers quoted £2,717 to insure his car whereas a local insurer quoted £761.
		The complainants, who transferred a balance into the advertisers' credit card account but found that subsequent repayments they made against purchases were deducted firstly from that balance and the amount of their promotional free credit correspondingly reduced or eliminated, objected that the promotion was misleading.
		The Advertising Standards Authority upheld the complaint and concluded that the comparison was not clear and fair and asked the advertisers not to repeat the claim unless they held documentary evidence to prove it and had ensured that the elements of the comparison were not selected in a way that gave them an artificial advantage.

	Building Societies - We list every UK building society
		A building society is a financial institution that offers savings accounts and mortgages as its main business.
		Each building society has a board of directors who run the society and who are responsible for setting its strategy.
		Building societies are different from banks, which are companies (normally listed on the stock market) and are therefore owned by, and run for, their shareholders.

	Halifax Bank Loan
		The Halifax Bank loan wins on two counts: firstly homeowners get loan deals that are closer in rate to mortgages; even if you were never a Halifax customer you can benefit from 6.0% and similar deals.
		There's a good reason for the breadth of choice- Halifax, like Abbey National, is a building society that became a bank; they're used to lending money.
		Where Halifax really goes to town is in secured lending- this is a loan based on having the funds guaranteed against your house.

		However, the Financial Services Ombudsman ruled that this practice was unfair and after this ruling the Nationwide Building Society immediately published in the press on 22 February 2002 that in the interest of fairness to all borrowers, the lower rate would be applied to all accounts and refunds would be made automatically by the society.
		Perhaps, this scenario illustrates the difference between Nationwide, a building society putting its members first, as opposed to the Halifax plc bank whose primary responsibility is to shareholders.
