Urgent Warning Issued for Millions of Barclays Customers After 4.6 Increase
Barclays issued a warning to millions of customers about rising mortgage repayments and risks tied to the growing pay by bank payment method.
The warning comes after data revealed that year-on-year expenditures on rent and mortgage payments increased by 4.6% in May, with many borrowers nearing the end of fixed-rate periods expecting higher repayment amounts.
Barclays data reveals 72% of mortgage holders expect repayment rises averaging £331 per month, with homeowners choosing between longer-term fixes or flexible products.
Money experts urge consumers to prefer credit or debit cards over pay by bank for big purchases, stating pay by bank lacks robust purchase protections.
These developments imply homeowners should prepare for higher mortgage costs, and consumers must consider payment method risks when booking significant purchases.
