On 2nd August 2018, the Bank of England announced a 0.25% increase in the Base Rate. Following this decision Progressive will make the following changes.
Savings
The interest rates on a range of our savings accounts will increase with effect from 10th September 2018. Further information will be available from 7th September 2018.
Mortgages
Members on a fixed rate mortgage product
If you have a fixed rate mortgage, your rate and monthly payments will not change until your deal period comes to an end. We will write to you when your deal period is coming to an end to let you know what your new payment and interest rate will be.
Members on a variable rate mortgage product including Standard Variable Rate (SVR)
Following the 0.25% Bank of England Base Rate increase, we have reviewed our mortgage rates and from 1st September 2018 the Society’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR) will increase from 4.75% to 5.00%. Borrowers on a variable rate mortgage will see their interest rate increase by 0.25% and payments will be adjusted accordingly. We will write to you to let you know your new monthly payment.
We’d love to talk you through the mortgage process and help you find a suitable product. For more information or to apply for an account, you can call us, email us, pop into one of our 11 branches. We look forward to hearing from you.
