Correct me if I'm wrong but on page 4 of the terms and conditions for the ecology easy access account under "How do I open and manage my account" it says:kaMelo said:The Ecology regular saver, notice saver and cash ISA can all be funded via DD but unfortunately the easy access account cannot. Minimum deposit into the regular saver is £25 per month.
The Ecology Building Society is not really about offering top rates.Where the account is opened online, the initial deposit must be made online. For postal applications the initial deposit can be by cheque or bank transfer. All subsequent deposits can be made by bank transfer, Direct Debit or cheque. You can also save monthly by Direct Debit or standing order (the minimum amount payable by Direct Debit is £10).So you can pay in by direct debit. It just doesn't mention that in the summary box.1 -
You're not wrong, whilst it used to not be the case it is now possible to put money in all Ecology accounts via DD. I've edited my previous post for clarity.Bridlington1 said:

That will teach me to read the latest terms and conditions before commenting.2 -
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).0 -
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.1

Must have been today as was still at 1.65% on Fri - Well spotted, top up on it's way.Descrabled said:Monmouthshire Christmas RSAccount no longer availableNow showing 2.05% interest. When did that move from 1.65%?
Last time they increased mid month (V3) it was also on the 22nd!0 -
Yes just noticed this. The documents on their website still show 1.65% at 13th July - so sometime since then.Descrabled said:Monmouthshire Christmas RSAccount no longer availableNow showing 2.05% interest. When did that move from 1.65%?0 -
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.0

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 seeglider3560 said:Has anyone heard from Bath Building Society about an increase to their rates after the latest BoE increase?

When you say treacle slow, how slow is that. I made my first payment today via a SO and is not showing as yet.Daliah said: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.

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.0
