Standard Variable Rate

From 1st December 2017 the Standard Variable Rate for both Bank of Ireland Mortgages and Bank of Ireland UK increased to 4.49%.

If your mortgage is linked to our Standard Variable Rate, then you will have received a letter confirming the changes to your account.

• What is the difference between an SVR and a Tracker Mortgage?

  A tracker mortgage is a variable mortgage which tracks the Bank of England Base Rate (BBR). This means rates rise or fall in line with any changes to the BBR.

  A Standard Variable Rate (SVR) is set by the Bank of Ireland Group and can change at any time throughout the year.

• What happens to my payment if SVR changes?

  If the SVR was to go down, your monthly payment would reduce in line with this. However, if the SVR was to go up, your payment would increase.
