Ecology Building Society sustainable mortgages and savings logo 2

From Monday 26 September we are increasing the interest rates across our range of savings accounts.  Tables showing the previous and new rates are shown below.

We continue to keep interest rates under review against the backdrop of the current changing economic environment, while balancing the needs of savers and borrowers as we pursue our mission to build a greener society.

One element that remains constant is the commitment to our mission. When you save with Ecology you can be confident that your money has a real impact through supporting energy efficient buildings and sustainable communities.

You can read about some of the projects supported by the money you save and our award-winning support for community-led housing at ecology.co.uk/projects.

More detail on your savings account(s) is available by logging in to the online service or at ecology.co.uk/savings

* All ISA interest is paid tax-free, which means it’s exempt from income tax. We pay all non-ISA savings interest gross, which means no income tax is deducted. It’s your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future.
**AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and provides a means of comparing interest rates by showing what the rate would be if interest was paid and added once a year.
*** SIPP Deposit increased rate from 22 September 2022.
