The Bank's staff magazine was inaugurated in 1955 under the editorship of Harold Turner. The magazine was initially entitled News Letter. Howard Powell took over as editor from the twelfth issue of the magazine, with the title changing to CONTACT in September 1959.
 
CONTACT ceased publication shortly after the Birmingham Municipal TSB merged with the TSB of the Midlands in November 1979 - the national TSB magazine BANKNOTES replacing it. Details of News Letter and CONTACT issues are shown in the following table:
