Four Access Saver (Issue 6)

Our Four Access Saver (Issue 6) account is built to give you freedom. Your savings stay within easy reach whenever life calls for them. If you take your money out more than four times in an account year, you’ll get a lower interest rate for the rest of the account year.

At a glance

  • You’ll get a variable rate of interest of 4.05% gross p.a./AER. Your interest rate will go down to 1.40% gross p.a./AER if you take money out more than four times each account year. At the start of the next account year (1 May – 30 April), the account will go back to the higher variable interest rate available at that time.
  • You can start saving with as little as £1.
  • Choose whether you’d like your interest to be paid yearly or monthly.

  • If the interest rate on your account goes down, and the balance in your account is £100 or more, we’ll write to you to let you know.
  • For details about why we may change the interest rate, as well as how and when we’ll let you know, please refer to sections 5d) and 5e) of our General Terms and Conditions (which are available in our branches and on our website).

  • You can only open this account online.

Managing your account

How to put money into your account

  • The least you can open your account with is £1.
  • You can pay in any amount up to £500,000.
  • To pay money in you can make electronic payments or set up a standing order from another bank or building society account. Our sort code is 40-64-36. You should use this with your 8 digit account number.

Can I withdraw money?

  • Yes. You’ll be able to take out your money at any time. This includes taking out any interest earned if you choose to have it added to the account.
  • Any more than four times and you’ll get a lower rate for the rest of the account year. At the start of the next account year, you’ll go back to the higher variable rate available at that time. You’ll then be able to make four withdrawals without getting a lower rate of interest. The account year runs from 1 May to 30 April.
  • If you set up your account for the interest to be automatically paid to another West Brom account, or to an account held with another bank/building society, this doesn't count as a withdrawal from your Four Access Saver (Issue 6).

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 19/05/2026.

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.
