BANK OF IRELAND has today announced that it is raising fixed mortgage rates to new and existing customers.
In a statement, Bank of Ireland said this follows cumulative increases of 3.5% in European Central Bank rates since July of last year.
From today, the bank’s fixed mortgage rates for new and existing customers will increase by 0.5%.
It affects customers who are coming to the end of their fixed rate period and seeking to re-fix their mortgage, as well as tracker rate or variable rate customers who wish to move to a fixed rate.
However, variable rates and tracker rates remain unchanged.
Bank of Ireland added that applicants who already have a credit approval and who draw down their mortgage by 5 May can still avail of the previous fixed rates.
The bank is also introducing a new term deposit account for its business customers.
On 18 April, Bank of Ireland will launch a new one-year term deposit account for business customers at 0.5%, which will be capped at €250k
