Switching mortgage providers is something many of us avoid, but it could help you and your family save some much needed cash.

With inflation continuing to put a huge strain on families all around Ireland, you’re probably not alone if you’re looking for ways to save some cash on your monthly payments.

Switching mortgages could be one such way to save a bit of cash but, when you’ve already been through the mortgage process once before, it’s hard to imagine putting yourself through it again, especially if you found it stressful the first time round.

However, there are some pretty amazing benefits that can come with switching mortgage providers. AIB, for example, offer loads of handy benefits for switchers, making it an option that’s well worth considering if you’re looking to save some money.

With that in mind, here are some of the top reasons why switching your mortgage could be the right the decision for you…

1. You could save on monthly repayments

As we’re all feeling the effects of inflation and rising living costs, anything that saves you a bit of cash on your monthly payments is well worth looking into. And it turns out that switching mortgages is one change that could help you save some money every month.

AIB offers competitive fixed and variable interest rates, so you could stand to save some cash on your monthly repayments if you make the switch. You can use their handy online calculator HERE to find out exactly how much you could save by switching.

2. You’ll receive €2,000 cashback

What would you do with a spare €2k? Maybe book a last minute sun break, kickstart some home renovations or treat yourself to some retail therapy?

When you switch your mortgage to AIB, you’ll get €2,000 cashback deposited into your account within 2 months of your mortgage drawdown. You can spend that extra cash on whatever you like, be that covering any costs that come with switching or any other upcoming expenses you have in mind. Ideal!

3. You can say goodbye to maintenance and transaction fees

Ever wish you could say goodbye to those pesky hidden fees that eat away at your current account? If you make the switch, that could be possible!

When you’re a personal mortgage customer with AIB, you won’t pay transaction or maintenance fees on the AIB current account you use for making mortgage repayments on the home you live in, a very handy added bonus for switchers.

There’s no doubt that changing mortgages can be a tricky process so, when you are ready to make the switch, it can be handy to go about it in a way that’s convenient for you.

That’s why AIB are trying to make the process as simple and straight forward as possible, by letting you switch online, over the phone or in your local branch – whatever suits you best!
