The witness would appreciate that somebody with a mortgage with EBS that is similar in profile at every level with that of an AIB mortgage, and considering that AIB owns and controls EBS, would pay a different rate. Surely there should be consistency across the group in terms of the standard variable rate charged to existing customers. I am not referring to new customers but to ordinary people who found themselves with EBS, which was taken over by AIB. Their sisters or brothers on the exact same type of loan or profile may be paying 0.5% more on the standard variable rate.
