BACK TO THE TOP
The above LEGISLATION and REGULATIONS applied to the Birmingham Municipal Bank from September 1st 1919 to March 31st 1976. That legislation was superseded by the National Exhibition Centre and Birmingham Municipal Bank Act 1976, which gave affect to the Bank's transfer to TSB status under the Trustee Savings Banks Act 1969. This legislation facilitated the creation of the Birmingham Municipal Trustee Savings Bank on April 1st 1976.
 
Prior to 1919, the Birmingham Corporation Savings Bank was legalised by the Municipal Savings Banks (War Loan Investment) Act, 1916.
