Worried about missing a mortgage payment?

If you are worried about missing a payment on your mortgage then our friendly team is on hand to help you. We’ll listen to your concerns and walk you through the options available to help you.

For some practical tips and links to independent agencies who can give you support and advice, please visit our dealing with financial difficulties webpage.

Support when you need it

If you have a mortgage with us and are struggling to cover the monthly payments, you may want to consider a temporary:

  • Mortgage payment break
  • Reduction in mortgage repayments

Another option could be to restructure your mortgage, reducing your monthly payments by extending the term of your mortgage.

At the end of the payment break / reduction period, you will be required to cover the payments you would have made and interest that has built up during the break period.

Eligibility criteria and conditions apply.
