Can the West Brom change the interest rate?

Yes. The interest rate is variable, so it can go up or down at any time.

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).

All our savings interest rates are available in our branches and online.

Did you know?

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 17/12/2024.

Gross – is the rate of interest payable before the deduction of tax.

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.
