Currency mortgages

Remove the risk of currency fluctuations

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it


If you're earnings aren't paid in sterling, then paying your mortgage in sterling involves a currency risk. You can remove the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations with a currency mortgage.

Interest rates are linked to the three month LIBOR rate for that currency - so they stay competitive.
