The State Bank of India (UK) Ltd (SBI UK) has launched its green tracker mortgage products range for applicants that are purchasing or re-mortgaging a property with an 'A', ‘B’ or ‘C’ EPC rating.

The products will be available for individuals and SPV/LLP/Ltd co-applicants for standard properties.


The two-year tracker rates are offered from 5.00% (BBR + 2.75%), with up to 70% LTV.

SBI UK's executive director and deputy CEO Sanjay Pandey said, "We are happy to come back in the market to help landlords in this crucial time. Our tracker products are well placed to allow landlords to make a conscious decision on their buy-to-let transactions. With our Green Range, SBI UK continues to support the UK’s mission to protect the environment.”

With a rich heritage spanning 200 years, the SBI is one of the top 50 largest banks in the world. It is the largest commercial bank in India in terms of assets, deposits, profits, branches, customers, and employees.

The Indian government itself is the largest shareholder of this Fortune 500 company, with 58.60% ownership.

SBI UK has been operating in the UK for almost 100 years and has grown to become the largest Indian bank in the UK, as well as being the largest international operation of SBI.

Would you let your teenager talk to ChatGPT alone? OpenAI is adding new safeguards

  • ChatGPT for Teens is designed for users aged 13 to 17.
  • The new version restricts self-harm, sexual and romantic content and discourages emotional attachment to the chatbot.
  • Parents can set quiet hours and receive limited safety alerts when high-risk situations arise.

Would you let your teenager talk to an AI chatbot on their own? That question is becoming harder to ignore as teenagers turn to artificial intelligence not just for homework, but also for everyday questions and companionship. OpenAI has now launched ChatGPT for Teens, a version aimed at users aged 13 to 17 with stronger protections around some of the risks associated with younger users.

The new experience places tighter restrictions around topics including suicide, self-harm, eating disorders and romantic or sexual conversations. It is also designed to stop the chatbot from suggesting that it has feelings for a teenager, or that it is conscious and capable of experiencing emotions.
