(4) In the case of an institution which—

(a) immediately before 29 April 1996 was not treated for the purposes of section 349(3)(a) of ICTA as a bank carrying on a genuine banking business in the United Kingdom, and

(b) on that day fell within the definition of “bank” given by section 840A of ICTA,

this paragraph applies to interest payable on an advance made before that day.
