Permanent TSB loan (Bonus?) incentives soon this year

Permanent TSB loan incentives I found this tiny piece of news during a search. It is about Permanent TSB preparing special perks, possibly bonus I think, to encourage borrowers to make lump sum payments. It is similar to the bonus for mortgage holders Permanent TSB offered on November 5.In my earlier post I had mentioned that Mortgage holders of Permanent TSB who have made lump-sum payments of over €5,000 were to receive bonus payments of 10 percent from the bank. The reasons were that Permanent TSB wanted its tracker mortgage holders to close their loans faster. Regarding the loan incentives being prepared by Permanent TSB here, the news piece didn't say much except that the country's biggest mortgage lender would be announcing its "new incentives" very soon to push borrowers to the teller.    Here is the entire "news." Its a tiny one but I'll update you if anything more comes up. You can subscribe to my news feed if you want.  "Permanen...

iPhone app for Product Information launched

Bright Grey has launched Bright Touch, a free iPhone app that allows advisers to access product information wherever they are. The application gives detailed cover information for the provider’s personal and business protection menus.

Mortgage Protection: Mortgages worth £245 Billion unprotected by Life Insurance

A recent survey has found that mortgages worth at least £245 Billion are not protected by Life Insurance. I read the survey report by Sainsbury's Finance today and I thought this must cost more for mortgage holders who would potentially be in for more than what they paid for to secure the mortgage, especially over soft grants. Four in ten mortgage holders do not have life cover to protect their mortgage, the survey said. 4 mortgage-holders out of 10 in Britain are not protected by life insurance. This practically means there are nearly 7 Million holders with a collective outstanding mortgage balance of £245 billion with no Life Insurance protecting their mortgage or avail support for their dependents in event of death. "On average, those who pay towards a mortgage and aren't covered by life protection are currently personally responsible for an outstanding balance of over £36, 000,” the survey report said. There is even more worry for those who are yet to have thei...
