UK Savings Interest Rates Tumble to Fund Mortgage Cuts

Postby Sarah on Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:59 am

In order to maintain their balance sheets, providers can either offer competitive mortgage or saving deals, not both.

Since November 2009, mortgage rates have been reducing, but in order to fund these cuts, savings rates have fallen too (see appendix).



The biggest rate reductions have been on fixed rate bonds, but numerous best buy easy access deals have also been withdrawn. The only exception is ISAs, where the current ISA season sees providers competing to attract savers’ tax-free allowance.
