Halifax is a retail bank in the United Kingdom, which operates as a division of Bank of Scotland, itself a subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group. The bank was founded in 1853 as the Halifax Permanent Benefit Building and Investment Society, a building society which provided savings and mortgage services to its members. It became a bank in 1997, following the acquisition of the Birmingham Midshires Building Society.

The payment APIs allow third-party developers to initiate and receive payments on behalf of customers, while the account APIs allow developers to access account data, transaction history, and other account-related information. The authentication APIs allow third-party developers to verify customer identities for authentication and authorization purposes.
