Can the West Brom change the interest rate?

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

If the interest rate on your account falls, and the balance in your account is £100 or more, we will personally notify you of the change.

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 and 5e) of our General Terms and Conditions (which are available in our branches and on our website).

All our interest rates are available in our branches and on our website.

How do I open and manage my account?

You can open this account in branch, by post or on our website.

The minimum opening deposit is £20. The minimum monthly deposit is £20 and the maximum monthly deposit is £2,000. The minimum operating balance is £1.

If opened in a branch, you will then manage this account in any of our branches. If you open the account by post, you will then manage your account by telephone/post. If the account is opened on our website, you will be able to access your account using our savings portal.

Our savings portal is available for all accounts which have been opened in a branch, by post/telephone or via our website. For more information about how to register for our savings portal and the access it provides, please visit www.westbrom.co.uk/savingsportal

You can pay any amount into your account, up to the maximum account balance. You can:

  • Pay in cash or cheques in a branch (if you choose to manage your account in a branch).
  • Post us a cheque (if you choose to manage your account by telephone/post/website).
  • Make electronic payments from another bank or building society account or set up a standing order (no matter how you choose to manage your account). Our sort code is 40-64-36. You should use this with your 8 digit account number for all electronic payments including standing orders. Electronic payments should leave your bank account by the 23rd of each month to ensure they are processed and paid to your account by the end of the relevant calendar month.

If you miss more than two monthly payments during the account year, the lower rate of interest will apply. An account year runs from 1 April to 31 March for branch accounts or from 1 May to 30 April for telephone/postal/website accounts. At the start of the next account year the account will go back to the higher variable rate available at that time.

Can I withdraw money?

You can make as many withdrawals as you like from this account with no notice period or charge.

If you manage your account in a branch, withdrawals will be subject to the branch cash withdrawal limits (details of these are on display in our branches). If you manage your account by telephone/post/website, withdrawals are made to your linked bank/building society account.

Additional Information

If you change your mind after you’ve opened your account, don’t worry. If you tell us within 14 calendar days, we’ll give you your money back with interest straightaway.

We pay your interest gross. The gross rate is the interest payable before the deduction of tax.
