Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Ethical, and so Supportive !

I love saving with a building society that does specific, practical things for the environment, and for housing (both so badly needed). Ethical - no investments in bombs or fossil fuels! The people who work for it are lovely! When I ring up to ask questions, I always get patient, friendly help and clear answers. Sure, the interest rate offered is modest - but this is outweighed by the peace of mind Ecology Building Society offers its customers. Reviewed on: 10th November 2024

Ethical, professional, reliable

Ethics excellent, communication excellent, and tailored to what we need, eg my daughter can’t spend time on a screen so gets all her communications by post. Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Good savings rates with excellent ethics

After spending quite a bit of time reviewing available ethical savings accounts, the Ecology Building Society regular saver account came out with one of the best rates whilst meeting all the ethical criteria i was concerned about. It also seemed a good longer term option as it wasn't just an introductory rate that would drop to near-zero after 12 months like certain competitor's offerings! Reviewed on: 10th April 2021

Supports my principles

Great ethical organisation with which to save. Knowing my money is invested in projects, such as housing, that make a difference and are important to me. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Great service from an Ethical provider

Ecology is a great small building society. I like the fact that my money is lent out on environmentally friendly projects. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Excellent ethical company

We have invested with the Ecology Building Society for decades particularly because of their ethical and sustainable work. We need more banking companies with this ethos. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

They are the most ethical financial provider, end of

Pretty much all the big banks (like Barclays, HSBC and others) are up their necks in investing in harm , ecocide and human rights abuses - with Ecology Building Society you can look yourself in the mirror knowing that your money isn't harming your kids' future, or anyone else's Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Honours its pledges

It is pleasing to see that the Ecology Building Society honours its pledges in that, at a time of ultra-low interest rates, it guarantees a minimum interest rate of 1% per annum to its loyal members. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021
