I used to work for a small, independent East-European mortgage-broker back when the financial crisis started and pretty much all the banks active on my country's market were using LIBOR as a reference rate when issuing mortgages, this is actually the first time when I hear about EONIA. I remember my boss telling me at some point to write a script that would parse the daily LIBOR rates from the Internet, and me being very surprised that one of few places from where I could get those values reliably was a crappy geocities-like page hidden inside a major bank's website.
