Following the Bank of England’s decision on 3rd August to increase the base rate of interest by 0.25% to 5.25%, we are in the process of reviewing our savings and mortgage rates.

Members with savings or mortgage accounts that are directly linked to the Bank of England base rate, including the Newcastle Base Rate Tracker Issue 1, will see their rates change in accordance with their account terms and conditions. View our full list of variable rate savings products and interest rates.
