Mortgage customers
Our standard variable rate (SVR) will increase by 0.15% (from 6.25% to 6.40%) on 15 June. Our SVR remains bottom quartile in the market, and we have passed on only 2.45% of the 4.25% Bank of England rate movement since December 2021.
As you know, several factors are considered when deciding on whether to move interest rates and by how much, including market conditions, how other organisations react, and of course to balance the needs of both savers and borrowers. This does take time to consider, and we thank you for your patience while we determine our approach.
Thank you for your continued loyalty to Newbury Building Society.
Melanie Mildenhall is Head of Customer Service at Newbury Building Society.
