EBS latest to exit tracker mortgages

EBS Building Society has become the latest financial institution to withdraw tracker mortgages, which move in line with the main euro zone interest rate.

EBS said the move was effective from close of business today, but existing tracker customers were not affected.

EBS blamed the continuing high cost of funds for banks in the wholesale money markets, which have moved well ahead of the ECB rate. A number of other lenders have already withdrawn the products, citing similar reasons.
