How will you manage your account?

At Birmingham Midshires we want to offer you choice in how you manage your savings accounts with us. So we have accounts that you can apply for and access in different ways.

Gross rate means that we will not deduct tax automatically from your interest. You are responsible for paying any tax due to HM Revenue and Customs.

AER means Annual Equivalent Rate. AER illustrates what your interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded each year and allows you to easily compare different offers.

Tax free is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.
