Ecology Building Society sustainable mortgages and savings logo 2

Good news! We’re increasing interest rates across some of our savings accounts from today. This follows the Bank of England increasing the base rate.

We also have good news about our mortgages. The interest rates on our standard variable rate and variable rate mortgages won’t be changing. These haven’t changed since December 2022.

You can see the savings accounts affected below, along with their new interest rate.
