Our Expert Opinion on West Brom Building Society 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

West Brom Building Society's 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond pays 4.15%, which sits below the market average for fixed-rate accounts and 1.20% behind the current market leader at 5.35%. It does beat inflation by 1.05 percentage points against CPI of 3.1% as of Aug 2026, so your money grows in real terms, but savers who shop around can do better. OakNorth Bank's Fixed Term 12 Months pays 4.96% for the same one-year commitment, which is worth a look. The usual fixed-rate catch applies: no access until maturity, so only commit money you can leave untouched.
