We are pleased to confirm that we have applied the full rate rise to the majority of our variable rate savings products, a decision which means that 97% of members with a variable rate saving product will benefit from a rate increase of 0.15%, effective from 1st February 2022.

Members with savings or mortgage accounts directly linked to the Bank of England base rate will have seen their rates change in accordance with their account terms and conditions.

Our Standard Variable Rate for mortgages remains unchanged at 3.96%.To find your updated account rate, you can view our current savings rates or call into your local branch for more information.
