Is the 1% cash back after 5 years calculated on the original balance or balance at 5 years?

I rang Bank of Ireland mortgages, apparently this question has been asked a few times based of the clause in the loan:

To qualify for the payment of 1% in year 5:

• The Loan originally drawn down less scheduled repayments must still be owing on the fifth anniversary of the draw down date;

They confirmed that once you aren't in arrears/missed payments etc and you still have any amount outstanding at end of fixed term, they will pay it.

They are issuing a letter confirming this, I'll post the details of it when I get it.

The scenario pointed out in post #3 should be the one to follow.

Finally received the letter, it states:

CASHBACK PLUS

Hi hoping someone has been in similar position. We took out 5 year fixed with BOI in 2018 and received the 2% cash back on draw down with the 1% due 45 days following the 5 year anniversary. We recently fixed again with BOI for a further 5 years in Oct 22.
Could I please check if anyone has been in similar position and will we receive the 1% cashback in 2023 as we still have loan with BOI ? Thanks in advance

I have never had a BOI mortgage but I'm almost certain that you will get the 1% cashback next year.
