offset mortgage - your current account, savings and mortgage working together to save money

What is an Offset Mortgage?

The chances are, you are paying a higher rate of interest on your mortgage than you are earning on the money in your current account and savings account. Our Offset Mortgage can turn this into your advantage.

By offsetting the balances in your linked Current Account and/or Savings account against your mortgage, you will pay interest on the difference. Instead of earning interest on your money, you will pay less interest on your mortgage.
