• 3 Month Payment Break

  You can take a 3-month payment break up to 3 times over the life of your mortgage loan – really useful if you run into extra expenses in a year such as the birth of a child or education fees.

  To be eligible for a payment break:

  • Your mortgage loan must be drawn down at least 2 years (if drawn in instalments, it must be at least 2 years since the final drawdown),
  • There must be at least 12 months between payment breaks (or 6 months must have lapsed since your COVID-19 payment break if you took one), and
  • You must have complied with all the terms and conditions of the mortgage.

  Applications are subject to approval. Available on your principal private dwelling only. Only available and annuity (standard capital and interest) repayment mortgages. Qualification criteria and terms and conditions apply.

  At the end of the payment break period your repayments will be adjusted so that your mortgage will be repaid within its original term, i.e. your ‘break’ repayments will be spread over your remaining mortgage, which means your new repayments will be higher than they were before the payment break.

  When you apply we will send you a ‘Mortgage Form of Authorisation’ with full payment break terms and conditions for you to sign and return to us.

      This is not an application for a payment break. These calculations are indicative and are for illustrative and guidance purposes only. The calculations assume the interest rate you have input will not change for the rest of your mortgage term. (If you are on a fixed rate, at the end of your fixed rate period you will be able to choose from rate options available to you then or roll to the variable rate that will apply at that time. If you are on a variable rate, this rate may change during the life of your mortgage).

      ‘Your current monthly repayments’ is the amount you would be contractually obliged to pay based on the amount, the term and interest rate you typed in. It is based on full capital and interest payments but it does not include any overpayments. For that reason, it may not match the actual amount that you repay each month.

      The ‘Difference in the total amount to repay’ is a calculation of the additional interest you will pay over the remaining life of the mortgage based on the information you have put into the calculator.

• Skip up to 2 payments in a year
  If you would like to have a little extra to spend at certain times of the year – such as Christmas or holiday time – you can spread your mortgage repayments in a year over 10 or 11 months and skip the other one or two. For example, if you would like to skip your repayment in December to have some extra cash at Christmas time, we can arrange for your repayments to be higher for the rest of the year so that you will make your full 12 months’ repayments over 11 months.

  Subject to meeting the conditions of your mortgage. Lending criteria and terms and conditions apply. Once you select a skip month repayment option it will continue each year unless you ask us to change it.
• Overpay your mortgage and save interest
  You can make Overpayments, either regularly or as lump sums, when you find yourself with extra cash. This will reduce your capital balance and you pay less interest. It may even reduce your term.

  • You can make regular or lump sum overpayments of any amount to a variable rate mortgage.
  • If you are on a fixed rate you can overpay up to 10% of your normal monthly repayment (or €65, whichever is greater), without incurring a fee.

  Even a small overpayment can make a difference to your mortgage. (You can cancel regular overpayments at any time. Overpayments made are not refundable) Check out our Overpay Calculator to see how much you could save.
