ECB Rate Change
On 12 September 2024, the European Central Bank reduced its ECB Refinancing Rate by 0.25%. In addition, an adjustment between the main refinance rate and the deposit rate of 0.35% was also confirmed. As a result we will make these changes to our rates:
- Tracker mortgage rates will reduce by 0.60% for all Tracker and Buy to Let mortgages that are linked to the ECB rate.
- This change will happen by 01 October 2024 and we will write to all our customers with Tracker mortgages confirming the new interest rate and the date it’s changing.
