Hey JF, you’ve raised a very valid question - especially in the current market conditions. I have to admit that I have not done any research about West Bromwich BS, but then I doubt you could really foresee whether a bank/BS is going to make it through the market turmoil or not - otherwise everyone else would be taking their money away from them immediately.
If you’re really worried about a BS going bust, just make sure you never have more than £32,000 with one bank. This is the amount that the FSA would reimburse you (fully) should a liquidation of the bank become necessary…
