GBP Managed LIBOR Base Rate
The Bank's Managed LIBOR* Base Rate is a variable interest rate and accordingly will change from time to time. It is reviewed on a monthly basis as a minimum. The rate is determined on the last business day of each month using the average of the three month LIBOR rate published daily for that month. It is then rounded to 3 decimal places. Where a change to the Bank's Managed LIBOR Base Rate occurs it will become effective from the first business day of the following month.
For example: a new rate that will be effective from the first business day in June would have been calculated on the last business day in May based on the daily average of 3 month LIBOR in May.
# With effect from the 1st September 2014 the Bank will cease to use MLBR for new business lending. Existing facilities priced against MLBR will be moved to the Bank's Base Rate [which at the time of writing (Monday 28 July 2014) is 0.5%] as individual agreements expire, going forward facilities will now be priced against either the Bank's Base Rate or LIBOR. This change reflects the Bank's decision to simplify its customer offering.
