How do I open and manage my account?

Opening your account

You can open this account online and in branch. You can open it if:

  • You were 16 or 17 as of 5 April 2024, and you don’t already have a Cash ISA

You can have a single Cash ISA in one tax year until you’re 18.

You can open more than one Cash ISA with the West Brom in the same tax year. You can also open Cash ISAs with other providers and pay into them all, as long as you don’t go over the £20,000 limit.

Managing your account

  • You'll manage your account in the same way you opened it. For example, if you opened it in branch, you’ll manage it by going into any of our branches. You can also register to view your account on our savings portal at www.westbrom.co.uk/savingsportal.
  • If you opened your account online you’ll manage it using our savings portal.

 

How to put money into your account

  • You can open your account with £1, up to your yearly Cash ISA limit of £20,000 for the tax year 6 April 2025 to 5 April 2026.
  • You can pay more money into the account at any time up to the annual Cash ISA limit. The most you can have in your account is £1,000,000. This includes transfers from other ISAs.
  • You can make electronic payments from another bank or building society account. Our sort code is 40-64-36. You should use this with your 8 digit account number for all electronic payments, and if you want transfer money from another ISA.

Can I withdraw money?

  • Yes. You can take money out up to six times each account year without letting us know beforehand. This includes taking out interest you’ve earned if you choose to have the interest added to the balance of this account.
  • If you choose to have your interest paid into another account, this doesn't count as a withdrawal.
  • Any more than six 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 six withdrawals without getting a lower rate of interest. The account year runs from 1 May to 30 April.

Additional Information

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 your money back with interest straight away.

  • We pay your interest tax-free. This means you won’t pay any tax on the interest you earn.
  • Please read the Specific Terms and Conditions and the General Terms and Conditions for this account.

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.

Tax-free – means you will not pay income tax on the interest you earn.

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.
