Birmingham Midshires security

Our security

Part of a strong UK banking group

Birmingham Midshires became part of the Lloyds Banking Group in January 2009. We operate as a separate brand within the Group, along with other well known financial names such as Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows.

The Group is well capitalised and financially strong. This strength places us in a great position to meet the challenges of the current financial climate and any future challenges we may face.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

Money held in a savings account with Birmingham Midshires is covered by the Financial Services Compensations Scheme.

Gross is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product, which quotes an interest rate, will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

NET rates are illustrative only, allowing for the deduction of income tax at 20%. If you are a higher rate tax payer, you may have a further amount to pay. If we deduct more tax than you have to pay this can be reclaimed from HMRC.
