You'll be able to transfer money between your BM Savings account and your Linked Account. If you set up a new Linked Account, the same conditions apply.
• Interest - calculated daily and credited to a BM Savings account or Linked Account on the first day of each month. Interest paid to a Linked Account will take up to 4 bank working days to clear.

Interest paid away to another bank or building society will take four banking days to arrive in your nominated Account.
   1. You agree that Birmingham Midshires may undertake a search with a credit reference agency for the purposes of verifying your identity. To do so the agency may check the details you supply against your particulars on any database (public or other) to which they have access.
