What does the floor mean for my clients?

Our discount product range now includes a floor rate on both the initial rate and any applicable revert to rate. For example, the product “Residential 80% 2 Year Discount @ 3.69%” will have a 3% floor applied to both the initial rate and the revert to rate (SVR minus 1.74%), before changing to our SVR for the rest of the term.

For products without a revert to rate, the floor will only apply to the initial rate. For example, the product “Buy to Let 2 Year Discount @ 4.39% (4% floor for 2 years)”, will change to our SVR for rest of term without a floor.
