    Ulster Bank cuts fixed rates

    Ulster Bank are masters at getting low rates announced in the media. The headlines used by media nearly always imply that rates for all mortgages will reduce. But when you get to the fine print its always for mortgages in excess of €200,000 only.

    I switched from Ulster Bank to EBS

    No there is no minimum as far as I am aware. I plan to wait 6 - 12 months and I will then try to move to AIB.

    Ulster Bank reduces mortgage rates for some new and existing customers

    Am I right in saying that if you currently have an Ulster Bank Variable rate mortgage of less than €200,000 then these new Ulster Bank rates change nothing for you?
