Following recent changes to European Central Bank rates, we are please to share that Credit Unions are holding mortgage rates steadyโ€”offering members added stability as living costs continue to rise.

As a member owned financial co-operative, our focus is always on supporting our members. Our capped variable mortgage offers a competitive rate. For more information visit:

Move comes as ECB hikes rates in a move expected to see bank mortgage rates rise

With strong demand expected on a first-come basis, acting early could make all the difference.
