    The thing is the Ecology regular saver was never about the rate as it has never been competitive. The funding via DD is the key point as it enables other things like switches and cashback.

    Now showing 2.05% interest. When did that move from 1.65%?

    Must have been today as was still at 1.65% on Fri - Well spotted, top up on it's way.

    Last time they increased mid month (V3) it was also on the 22nd!

    Yes just noticed this. The documents on their website still show 1.65% at 13th July - so sometime since then.

    SRBS crediting of deposits; they are treacle slow in showing the deposits online BUT it doesn't matter as the amounts get credited for the day you make the payment. This is the case for deposits made on working days, at least.

    Has anyone heard from Bath Building Society about an increase to their rates after the latest BoE increase?

    I can't see anything on their website and contemplating withdrawing the balance from my 1.75% regular saver (although don't want to as this account doesn't have a maturity date).
    Bath hasn’t changed their rates yet, and a branch staff member reckons it’ll be October that they implement any changes, if they decide to. That said their rates are usually very competitive, so I’ll be waiting to see
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

    When you say treacle slow, how slow is that. I made my first payment today via a SO and is not showing as yet.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    In the past they have been a month later than most, and they put them on their rates page in advance, so I too would suspect 1 October, with it showing as a future rate mid-September

    Thanks for this

    I only asked them last week what the BoE announcement meant for the RS I held with them and they told me wrong!
