You can accept whatever deal Metro Bank puts in front of you, or you can use an FCA-regulated broker to compare your options, secure the most competitive rate available, and earn cashback in the process. At Rate Switch Rewards, we handle the entire Metro Bank product transfer on your behalf at no cost to you.
What Is a Metro Bank Product Transfer?
A product transfer is when you move from one mortgage deal to another with your existing lender, Metro Bank, without changing the loan amount or the lender itself. There is no need to reapply for a mortgage, and in most cases the process takes less than 15 minutes. It is one of the most effective ways for existing Metro Bank customers to reduce their monthly payments when their current fixed or tracker rate expires.

How Long Does a Metro Bank Product Transfer Take?
In most cases, a straightforward Metro Bank product transfer can be completed the same day. Once we access your account details, we identify the available product options, email them to you for review, and submit the application once you have chosen your preferred rate. A mortgage offer is typically issued immediately.
If your transfer involves additional borrowing, a change to your mortgage term, or a switch to interest-only repayment, extra checks may be needed. We will let you know at the outset whether any of those factors apply to your case.
Can I Borrow Extra Money with a Metro Bank Product Transfer?
Yes — Metro Bank allows existing mortgage customers to apply for additional borrowing. This is considered alongside the product transfer application where possible.
Why Switch Through Rate Switch Rewards Rather Than Direct?
Many borrowers go directly to their lender when their rate expires. The problem is that Metro Bank has no obligation to offer you the most competitive deal available. As a whole-of-market broker, we compare Metro Bank’s product transfer rates against every available option. If staying with Metro Bank is your best move, we will confirm that with the numbers to back it up.
There is another risk in going direct. If you accept a rate today and rates fall before your new deal starts, you could end up paying more than necessary. We monitor rates on your behalf and will cancel and replace your accepted rate with a lower one if one becomes available before completion. That is something you simply cannot get by dealing with Metro Bank directly.
