I'm about to withdraw my savings from NS&I and already having instant access accounts with Marcus, Ford, Saga and Virgin but was wondering if it's worth opening one with West Brom as their rates look favourable for new accounts.

Has anyone had any problems with with building society?  Thanks

    Aren't you currently getting 0.75% on your Ford Money Flexible Saver?

    Yes I am..... and 0.70% Marcus and 0.75% with Saga - actually since posting my question this morning West Brom have cut  their rate so I won't bother saving with them now.
  • I applied for the West Brom savings account at about 2pm this afternoon. I got a confirmation email telling me my login etc will be in the post. Any ideas if this means I just caught the end of this and I'll still get the 0.70% rate? Or will it be less?
