BBC reports that interest rates have been raised for the first time in more than three years - and it could be good and bad news for you. According to BBC, Mitchell Barnes, founder and chief executive of Ryse 3D, which manufactures 3D parts for the defence and automotive sectors, said the "reality" of rising interest rates was to look at the cost of employees and people. BBC reports that the Bank rate - and where it is expected to go in future - has a significant impact on the interest rates customers are offered on savings products. BBC reports that about 500,000 homeowners have a mortgage that "tracks" the Bank of England's rate. An additional 500,000 homeowners on standard variable rates (SVRs) must wait to see if their lender chooses to pass on any Bank rate rise.
