The Central Bank has advised me that the following lenders have notified the Bank of their decision/intention to implement the recommendation of a Deferred Interest Scheme (DIS) or a variation of it, as set out in the final report of the Expert Group on Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt with the following effective dates:

Mortgage LenderEffective Date
Allied Irish BanksFinal quarter of 2011
AIB Mortgage BankFinal quarter of 2011
Bank of IrelandImplemented
ICS Building SocietyImplemented
EBSImplemented
Haven MortgagesImplemented
Irish Nationwide Building SocietyThird quarter of 2011
Permanent TSBWill be implemented from 11 July 2011
Springboard MortgagesImplemented
Start MortgagesFinal quarter of 2011

It is important to note that the DIS is a voluntary scheme, and as such all lenders do not have to sign up to it.
