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

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

Ethical Savings

Good to have an ethical savings account. Also at a higher savings rate than most (less ethical) savings accounts. Great to take part in an ethical organisation Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

I know my savings are being used ethically

I know my savings are being used ethically and giving me a good return. The company is always easy to talk to and transactions happen smoothly Reviewed on: 12th April 2021

Efficient Ethical Building Society

Ecology Building Society keeps me up to date abut their savings' products. I appreciate their snapshots of what properties they have loaned money for. I can always telephone their office and speak to a real person. Reviewed on: 11th April 2021
