Barclays has launched a range of mortgages that offer improved deals to customers who hold a current account with the bank.
The new loyalty mortgages are available on selected tracker, fixed rate and offset home loans for customers who have held a current account for a minimum of three months with at least £800 per month transferred in.
A two-year fixed-rate mortgage is available at 2.95% for those with at least a 30% deposit. Barclays says the deal is 0.54% below the its standard offering and lower than the current best fixed rate from HSBC.
For those with only a 20% deposit, the interest rate on offer is 4.19%, which is an improvement of 0.19% on the lender's normal rate.
Based on an average mortgage of £135,000, Barclays says the discounts could save customers £922 in the first two years of their mortgage.
Andy Gray, head of mortgages for Barclays, said: "We are always looking at how we can offer the most competitive mortgage rates we can and the most deserving people for these are our existing customers."
