    Ecology RS

    If anyone is interested in the Ecology RS ... applying sooner rather than later is probably best advice as recent RS accounts at decent rates that have been highlighted in this thread tend to go NLA quickly.

    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.

    Ecology BS

    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!

    Ecology BS

    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 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.
