Mortgage
Your Mortgage, Made Simple
Introducing Ireland’s First Capped Variable Rate Mortgage
At People First Credit Union, we’re delighted to offer a mortgage that puts you firmly in control – our Capped Variable Rate Mortgage. It combines the freedom of a variable rate with the reassurance of knowing your repayments won’t exceed a set limit.
Here’s how it works: during the capped period, your repayments will never rise above the agreed cap, no matter how interest rates move.
Our current rate is 3.85% (APR 3.92%), capped at 4.40% (APRC 4.5%) for the first three years.
Unlike our experience with the bigger banks, the credit union experience was definitely more personal and we felt the credit union saw us as people and not just numbers on an application form.
With People First Credit Union, you'll enjoy:
- Borrow up to €350,000 with a max term of 35 years.
- Interest is charged on the reducing balance.
- No arrangement fees.
- No prepayment penalties.
- You can switch the mortgage loan relating to your principal private residence in Ireland to us.
- A dedicated Mortgages Advisor with you every step of the way.
- No penalties if you pay off your mortgage earlier than the originally agreed term on variable rates.
Key Features of Our Capped Variable Rate Mortgage
Your interest rate will not rise above the agreed cap during this period.
You can make lump-sum or regular extra payments. It’s up to you whether you want to:
Lower your monthly repayments and keep your term as it is, or
Maintain your current repayments and reduce your overall mortgage term.
Shape your mortgage around your lifestyle and financial goals.
