Santander mortgage customers on Standard Variable Rate face a hike in their payments from today.
The typical customer will have to shell out and extra £26 a month.
They're not the only ones: Co-op Bank, Halifax, Bank of Ireland and the Yorkshire and Clydesdale banks have all imposed similar increases this year.
But Santander's rate is already pretty high. Now it'll be 4.74%, compared with Halifax's 3.99%.
Here are more details from BBC Online.
And here's how the Co-op blames interest-hungry savers for the round of SVR increases.
