| Interest is variable and paid yearly or monthly. If you choose to have your interest paid yearly, it’ll be paid on 31 March and you’ll be able to access it from the next working day (this includes Saturdays). We can add it to your account or pay it into another account. If you choose to have your interest paid monthly, it’s paid on the first working day of the month if paid to another West Brom account, or on the last working day of each month if paid into an account with another bank or building society. |

How to put money into your account
Don’t worry if you change your mind after you’ve opened your account. If you tell us within 14 calendar days, we’ll give you your money back with interest straight away.
Gross interest – is the rate of interest payable before the deduction of tax.
AER – stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. All rates quoted are correct as at 03/02/2026.
Identification – when you open an account with the West Brom we may need to confirm your identity. For full details on why this is required and the types of identification accepted please refer to the Society's 'Important information on identification' leaflet.
Personal Savings Allowance – the Personal Savings Allowance was introduced on 6 April 2016 and means that the first £1,000 of overall savings interest for basic rate taxpayers and the first £500 for higher rate taxpayers are free from income tax. (There is no allowance for additional rate taxpayers.) From this date, we stopped deducting any tax from the interest paid to you (ISAs are tax-free). You are responsible for paying any tax due to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). For further information about the Personal Savings Allowance, please contact your local HMRC office.
Protection for savers – your eligible deposits with the West Brom are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme. Any deposits held above the limit are unlikely to be covered. You can visit www.fscs.org.uk for more information.
