Answers to your common questions

How do I make a withdrawal from my account?

To make a withdrawal, send your passbook (if you have one) and a signed withdrawal form or letter of authority to:


BM Savings team
Birmingham Midshires
Pendeford Business Park
Wobaston Road
Wolverhampton
WV9 5HA


Check if the withdrawal will incur a charge or loss of interest, or affect the interest rate on your account. You should also make sure the account allows withdrawals, and that there are sufficient cleared funds.
