A tracker mortgage ‘tracks’ changes to the ECB rate. If the ECB decides to increase or decrease its rate, the rate on the Tracker Mortgage will go up or down by the same percentage.
ECB Rate Change
On 16 March 2023, the European Central Bank increased its ECB Refinancing Rate by 0.50%. As a result we will make these changes to our rates:
- Tracker mortgage rates will increase by 0.50% for all Tracker and Buy to Let mortgages that are linked to the ECB rate.
- This change will happen by 1st April and we will write to all our customers with Tracker mortgages confirming the new interest rate and the date it’s changing.
-
My tracker mortgage repayment is increasing. Why is this happening?
The ECB has increased its rate by 0.50%. This means the tracker mortgage rate is going up by 0.50%.
-
How will I be informed of the changes to my Tracker Mortgage interest rate?
We will write to all customers to inform them of the changes to their Tracker Mortgage interest rate from late March.
-
I pay by direct debit. What do I need to do?
The direct debit for your mortgage will automatically change, so you don’t have to do anything.
-
I pay my mortgage by standing order. What do I need to do?
You will need to amend your standing order to reflect the increased mortgage repayment.
You will need to contact your Bank to make this amendment.
-
I have a variable or a fixed rate mortgage - are these rates changing?
Our Standard Variable Rate, LTV Variable and Fixed Rates are unchanged at this time.
