You don’t need any Branch Access to open a BOS Account.
I have been with the bank for nearly 6 years now and never visited the branch once. Everything has been done via Online Banking or the App.

Ummm from my personal experience I don’t think Halifax Branches do business with Bank Of Scotland Customers. I could be completely wrong.
But when i tried it, I was told “no!” and to get on the next plane to Edinburgh (not really of course 
)
I don’t it’s like the Natwest Group where you can do business with all their brands under one branch roof.
I think the operations of Lloyds, Halifax and Bank Of Scotland are all seperate.

I opened my BoS current account in 2024 purely for access to their Regular Saver as I had maxed out others.
I was already accessing their app via my Halifax details so was dead easy
That is the weird thing.
You can access their services via Halifax App but not the Branch.
But you bank with Starling, supported by the Post office and 24/7 customer care..

I’ve probably used a branch less than 10 times in the last 10 years? Prior to that (and handling mums bereavement not included), maybe a few more occasions but online banking and app banking was nothing near what it is today.
I think you’ll be fine, and this is why branches are a dying breed.

Last time, I used a branch was visiting Lloyds to get some cash out for a plane model from a local market

I can almost with certainty tell you you’ll never be in that situation and is not… sorry but not a reason to open a whole bank account for.

There’s the Development bank of Wales for business lending but sadly no Bank of Wales.

Principality is a building society that doesn’t offer current accounts, but savings and mortgages.
Today I learnt it is in fact a Welsh society.
