The no longer available West Brom 4 access saver (issue 1) and no longer available West Brom 4 access saver (issue 2) are reducing from 4.65% AER to 4.4% AER on 15th September 

https://www.westbrom.co.uk/savings/savings-interest-rates-at-a-glance

(click on 'Variable interest rates for accounts not available to open')

This aligns them from 15th September with the currently available West Brom 4 access saver (issue 3) which reduces to 4.4% AER from 4.55% AER also on 15th September.
