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

    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Ecology BS

    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.

    Ecology BS RS

    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.

    MonBS

    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.

    Ecology RS

    Lapsed member here who was racing through the application only to come across this at the final stage.

    Their systems are now in a taffle in that they recognise that I have a RS so won't let me apply again but don't recognise my login in credentials.

    😊

    Requires OS18 on Apple, released less than 2 years ago so an unusual stipulation for a building society and the first app I haven’t been able to get on my Mini 6 that I’ve left on 17 for performance reasons and also because it’s almost full. Ready to upgrade to the OLED version when it’s released.

    Is COP working on Ecology today or shall I leave the funds where they are until tomorrow?
