Our Expert Opinion on West Brom Building Society Limited Access Saver

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

The West Brom Limited Access Saver pays 2.00%, but that sits 3.00% behind the easy access market leader at 5.00% and 1.10% below CPI inflation of 3.1%, so your money is losing purchasing power in real terms. The withdrawal limit is the key catch: make seven or more withdrawals in an account year and the rate drops to 1.40% for the rest of that year. This account might suit someone who wants a straightforward easy access account with West Brom specifically, but I would look at alternatives like Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver at 3.40% before committing here.
