How could Base Rate changes affect me?
The Bank's Base Rate is currently 4.50%
On certain products, our interest rates are linked to the Bank's Base Rate, which is influenced by changes to the Bank of England Base Rate. If the Bank's Base Rate changes, your monthly payment may be affected if you hold a mortgage, loan or savings product.
We will notify you in advance of changes to any of our products so you have time to review your options.

What is Standard Variable Rate?
