To pay money into your Ecology account you will need a linked bank account set up for your Ecology account.

Your linked account will either be set up when you open an account or (for existing customers) when you register with the online service for the first time.

You linked account can be changed online – only one online change is allowed every six months. (Setting up a linked account for the first time counts as one change). If you need to change your linked account more than once in a six month period, please use our change of details form which is available on our website here: Ecology savings brochures.

Once you have set up the linked account details in your Ecology online service, you will need to set up your Ecology account details in the bank account that you have chosen as your linked account. For this you will need to put in:

• your six digit Ecology sort code
• your eight digit Ecology account number
• your name as detailed on your Ecology account – this is referred to as the “Payee”
• If prompted please select “Personal account”.

For customers with accounts opened before 23 March, these details were sent by letter to you when we changed our systems.

Your Ecology account details will be saved in your bank account Payee list and you can make payments from your linked account to your Ecology account whenever you want to.

If you decide to set up a standing order from your linked account, you will use the same details as setting up a payee, but will also need to select the regularity and date that you want the money paid to Ecology.
