David Black, head of banking said, "With the likely ending of free full service current accounts, customers will potentially be able to save around £120 or so a year by having a current account [mortgage] or offset mortgage,"

"They are now increasingly regarded as mainstream products and we believe that providers will start to target new markets such as buy-to-let investors or those with lumpy income streams."

Today on the market there are 36 firms which offer a offset mortgage or a current account mortgage, the products within offer up to 198 different options.
