Íslandsbanki changes interest rates following Central Bank policy rate decision

The changes are as follows:

  • Interest rates on non-indexed deposit accounts will increase by as much as 0.95 percentage points. Rates on mortgage savings accounts will rise the most.
  • Interest rates on non-indexed variable-rate mortgage loans will increase by 0.50 percentage points, to 4.65%. No changes will be made to fixed interest rates on non-indexed mortgages. Furthermore, no changes will be made to fixed or variable interest rates on indexed mortgages.
  • The non-indexed variable base interest rate will increase by 0.50 percentage points.
  • Both Ergo’s non-indexed variable base interest rate and interest rates on motor vehicle loans and contracts will increase by 0.50 percentage points.
  • Interest rates on individuals’ and businesses’ overdrafts will increase by 0.75 percentage points.
