Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Ethical in every way

We have saved with Ecology for years, knowing that our money will be used for good. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Honest and fair provider with a genuine ethical offering

You know you’re dealing with a genuine sustainable provider. No greenwash I can see exactly how my money is being put to use to support projects that have a positive impact. Reviewed on: 9th January 2022

Ethically sound and great to deal with

I've been an investor with the Ecology Building Society for longer than I can remember - probably 20 years by now. They've always been my go-to savings provider. Yes, the interest rates may not be the highest, but it's a tiny price to pay for knowing that your money is 100% ethically invested - no ifs, no buts. They're great to deal with, too. You always get straight through to a person (not like some providers who subject long-suffering customers to endless queues with stupid music - you know who you are!) and they're infallibly efficient and friendly. What's not to like? Reviewed on: 1st May 2021

25 years saving with the Ecology

The magazine with inspirational eco-homes using passivehaus items imported and reclaimed materials. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Fantastic service and ethical

Always efficient and it's ethical. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Ethical, efficient, personal

I feel I'm dealing with real people at EBS, whereas other banks seem to be staffed by machines. And they are fruly ethical. That matters. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Nobody I'd rather bank with

Ecology are great and continue to improve their services. I only wish I could have a current account with them too. I've been a customer for 11 years now and have had no issues at all - just a great ethical savings option. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Ecology is Simply Genuine.

Ecology Simply Do what they set out to.... Ecological environmentally sound mortgages. And Savings. No waste of money on over glossy ads, over inflating claims of size. Ecology is honest. When they write inform me of product changes, it's real, straightforward and legible. Ecology employ genuine people who speak to me like a real intelligent person. There's no double speak. Just sincere friendly communication. I trust ecology integrity. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

working for a better environment

Ecology have provided a consistently high standard of service, in line with their ethical principles! Reviewed on: 14th April 2021

Great service combined with an ethical approach

I opened a monthly saver with Ecology. It was easy to set up and run, an ok interest rate, and no requirement to open an new account each year. Any dealings with the society have been efficient and friendly. Great to know my money is being invested in ecological and ethical ways. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

Ethical, easy and friendly

I've invested with Ecology for years now, since they were (one of) the first genuinely ethical savings provider out there. Their products are easy to understand and use, their customer service is excellent and it's great to know my savings are safe while doing good work! Reviewed on: 13th April 2021
