Following the Bank of England’s decision to increase the Base Rate by 0.50 percentage points to 3.50% on 15th December 2022, we are implementing rate changes across both our variable rate savings products and variable rate mortgages.
Savings
The Society will increase the interest paid on our variable rate savings accounts on a product-by-product basis. We will communicate the updated variable savings rates in branches, and on our website, as soon as possible later this month.
Members with an existing fixed rate savings product will not have any changes applied.
Mortgages
The Society will increase its Standard Variable Rate (SVR) by 0.50 percentage points to 7.44%, effective from 1st February 2023.
Existing Base Rate tracker mortgage account holders will have the 0.50 percentage point increase applied from 1st February 2023.
Existing mortgage holders affected by the rate change will be written to individually.
Borrowers currently on a fixed rate product will see no change in current repayments.
