Depends if our banks past that on, as far as i am aware my building society never gave a cut in their rate from the last 0.5% last month.
If they dont, thats 2% drop in the bank of Englands, but nothing in Coventry BS.....

Bet they make sure it is applied to the savings rates on offer!, luckily I invested some money today for the next 12 months at a really good rate.
Only 2 weeks ago my sister applied for a mortgage fixed at 5.79%, she's wishing she held on now :icon_Wall:
It's definitely a tricky time at the moment.
