Easy application here too, in under 5 minutes. I installed the app earlier this afternoon on iPhone, iPad is too old. Funds already showing in my account.

I opened it in app as an existing customer. Took about 1 minute because all my details are including nominated bank account are already there. Had to close and reopen the app to see the account.

I have to say I didn't expect 6% RS from Ecology, they've never offered saving products at high interest rates.

New customer. Downloaded app to iphone. Filled in all the data requested. The app asked me to agree to a terms document that was not presented. Failed to match and they will get back to me. First time ever I have failed id check. Ah well, delay will help funds become available.
I predict staff get in the office tomorrow and find a mountain!

Just applied as a first time customer on my laptop, process was smooth, took about three minutes and I was instantly able to see my sort code and account number - I didn't even log out of the Ecology website while I set up and paid from my linked account (Lloyds) - when I clicked "go to my dashboard" the money was there instantly.

Great experience - thanks for the heads up.

Opened my Ecology. Already had an old regular saver with the minimum £10 in it, so already have a log in with them

I asked for clarification of the terms this afternoon and a very rapid response from them…

Good afternoon and thank you for your email.

It works on calendar months so yes, if you were to pay in £200 today, this would reset on 01 September.

Another Ecology RS super fast application / funding post.

Applied at 4.47pm already have an account with them(ONLINE.). Had account details at 4.52pm via email sent funds and was visible when re-logged on at 4.55pm.

Yes, very impressive. I deposited from Cahoot, immediately received a text saying that it has to be from nominated account and funds will be returned, £200 funds immediately appeared in my Cahoot account, sent money from nominated account and immediately receive a message and email that funds have arrived, showing in the app straight away.

In the past, before they launched new online service and bypassed clearing bank (Co-op), deposits didn't arrive until next working day.

Thank you forum ! Managed to catch this RS and a new BS too - happy.

I wonder if withdrawals will be just as fast as deposits are too ? But shows how fast CoP can be done and deposits can be processed with faster payments for a smaller BS.

My online access is now sorted, but it seems they require a signature and original/certified bank statement to enable withdrawals from the online service. But they mention a photograph of signed form and statement would be acceptable. Which is handy because the "enclosed pre-paid envelope" was not enclosed, and I rather suspect the online messaging will be quicker. Can anyone confirm they've been happy with a photo of an original statement (rather than needing certified)?

It is a bit of a nonsense as it was the same nominated account I chose when applying through the app and they've already processed a couple of app withdrawals to it.

At least I have now been able to request closure of the first RS to get my remaining pennies of accrued interest.
