The Linked Account is the bank account you connect to your Ecology savings account(s). You will use this account to pay money into your Ecology savings account and any money you withdraw from Ecology will be paid into this account.

Your linked account will either be set up when you open an account or (for existing customers who opened their account before the 24th March 2026) when you register with the online service for the first time.

Your 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”.

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.
