    Opening a West Brom Four Access Saver (Issue 1)recently high lighted elsewhere, as a new customer to West Brom, makes you an existing West Brom customer for their 6.00% fixed regular saver. No qualifying period of 'belonging'. 

    In case that's of any help.
    Is this account still available? Can't see it. Only other accounts I can see to achieve the same thing have £1000 minimums. 
    Just looked at 8:39AM this morning and the West Brom Reguiar Saver 7th Issue (6% fixed rate) is still there listed under Regular Savers.

    Sorry, I meant the Four Access saver to gain membership to allow the RS to be opened.

    I put £1 in the West Brom Saver. This is still available. You could also put £1 in the Limited Access Saver Issue 2.

    Market Harborough (and others); re names needing to match.

    Just as an FYI on the 'names matching'. My wife and I married last December. She's updated her name with most providers, but not Chase (because they awkwardly demand she has new photo ID made, which isn't going to happen until her passport expires). Several building society accounts have been obtained in her married name (they'd have no record of her maiden name) and no payments from Chase have been bounced back.

    She's also paid directly in to my regular savers with no issues.
  • The one thing that always puts me in doubt is some of my accounts are in my initials (I always give them my full names - as you do - but statements sometimes come as A N Other).

    Did wonder with this one as it fitted this scenario but its worked ok thankfully

    Though the latter is branch only
  • What would the interest be on the MHBS RS with payments of £250 starting on 1/10/24 and the same amount monthly thereafter until maturity?

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    Same happened me. 
    Turn your phone sideways to landscape mode. 
    It then works. Apply button on right hand side. 
    Still didn't work for me but did it OK on my laptop. The maddest set of security questions I've ever seen.  I have no hero, no favourite car and favourite film is too many characters and has a space, as 2 words. Just had to make random stuff up and write it down!
    Only one I haven't seen before is the hero.
    Do you not drive then?
    Could have ignored the space
    I got creative with the answers for each of their dumb questions.

    Screenshotted them too so I can answer should I forget.

    You should be able to choose from a list or set your own question and answer.

    Also dumb is no caps or special characters, goes against everything I'm used to with setting up online accounts tbh.
