Excellent Savings Accounts

Easy to use online system. Good interest rates. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

The Original Green Building Society

Long before it was 'trendy' to be green, the Ecology Building Society was working to encourage people to fund ethical projects. I've been with them for almost 40 years and they have consistently offered excellent service with a human face. You could always ring up and talk to a real person without waiting in a queue for an hour and they seem to go the extra mile to make sure that your queries have been satisfied.

Support Climate Change action AND get a decent return!

Easy to set up an account. Moreover, in these hard and worrying times it feels good to have my savings in a safe place that not only gives a better return than a high street bank savings account, but which is committed to making a positive contribution to protecting our ecology. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

Ethical and Friendly

Friendly staff when there was a slight hiccup in opening an account. So pleased to find an ethical building society to save with. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

Straightforwardly Ethical

A simple, straightforward, honest, ethical, mutual. If only they were all like this. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

Ethically sound with great customer service

I feel confident and reassured to know that I am saving with an ethically sound organisation that shares my values and supports worthy projects which are moving us towards a greener future. EBS is open and accessible and customer friendly. Its services are well explained and efficiently run. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

A rare find

I’ve been with the bank many years now and have received meticulous service in every way. Their communications are clear and not overly regular. Even though they only have the one branch they outdo their larger counterparts with ease. All this AND their ethical standards are second to none. Reviewed on: 12th March 2022

The most ethical bank on the market

Ecology Building Society is rated the most ethical bank in the UK by the Move Your Money campaign. Savings are invested in mortgages for people building eco-friendly homes, so have a directly positive impact on the environment and the housing shortage. Their online banking feature is easy to use, their range of products and savings rates is competitive, and unlike other supposedly ethical banks like Triodos who often invest in polluting companies like petrol lobbyists Toyota, Ecology really do make a positive difference. Reviewed on: 16th January 2022

A great ethical savings provider

A great ethical savings provider- Excellent ethos and clear information Reviewed on: 15th January 2022

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
