Bank Rate updates

On Thursday 1 February 2024, the Bank of England announced that they were holding the Bank Rate at 5.25%. This means that our savings and mortgage rates have not been impacted by this decision.

Find out how the previous Bank Rate change may have affected your West Brom savings or mortgage.

Why the West Brom?

We’re there for those who need us most

We're committed to supporting the financial wellbeing of our customers and believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. That’s why we've removed arrears charges and use a new approach to Standard Variable Rate (SVR) on our mortgage products. We've made our services more accessible, and continue to help many people to buy their first home. 

We’re helping build financial confidence

We were the first building society to partner with Plain Numbers – an organisation which shares best practice on how to present and explain numbers as clearly as possible. Since 2015, our colleagues have also delivered interactive ‘Money-Go-Round’ and ‘Financial Fitness’ workshops to local schoolchildren, where we teach young people the value of money and importance of saving.

We’re accessible within our communities

We want our products and services to be accessible to all, and to give our customers access to real people on their terms – either in branch, by post, on the phone, or online. We have 34 high street branches across the Black Country, Shropshire and mid-Wales, making us perfectly placed to provide a top-class, personal service. 

We're making an impact!

Our Impact Report called 'Building a Fairer Future', shows the positive changes we're making for our customers, communities, colleagues and the environment.
