Our SVR is changing to 8.39%
SVR update
On 3 August 2023, the Bank of England base rate rose by 0.25% to 5.25%
As a result, we have taken the decision to increase our Standard Variable Rate (SVR)* by 0.15% to 8.39% on 1 September 2023.
We remain focused on balancing the needs of both our borrowers and savers during this period of rising rates and on providing long term value for all members. During the past 12 months base rate has risen by 3.50% in total, whilst our SVR has increased by 2.45% over the same period.
*The SVR increase to 8.39% also applies to the Society’s Holiday Let SVR (HLSVR) and Commercial Variable Base Rate (CVBR).
Below is more information about what the SVR change means for any cases currently in progress. Customer FAQs will shortly be made available at mhbs.co.uk/svrhelp.
