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

Why go elsewhere?

Ecology Building Society is the best UK ethical financial provider, and from experiences elsewhere is the best Building Society. They provided the best savings account when I looked for a new one. Customer service has been brilliant and I feel I've been treated fairly as a customer. So we will be applying for a specialist mortgage with Ecology as they are an excellent provider. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Keeps up the professional end - and ethics too!!

I've been with EBS since 2007 and it is part of my personal/psychological furniture of being part of something positive that pioneers positive ethical/environmental/social change!! I'm proud to be part of the Ecological Building Society !! Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Environmentally Beneficial Saving

I've had several different accounts as a saver with EBS over a 20 year period during which I've been extremely satisfied with all the service. I have on occasion shopped around to see if my money would be better invested elsewhere and each time I have decided EBS is still the best provider for my needs. This is partly due to giving favourable interest rates compared with other lenders but also due to EBS playing an important role in bringing about environmentally beneficial changes in housing construction and renovation. It's important to me as an investor to know that my investments are being used to build homes that are sustainable, require less energy to heat and minimize the use of toxic substances. EBS keeps its members regularly informed about projects the society is investing in. There isn't any other bank or building society, that I'm aware of, that provides this ''ecological saving service''. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Ethical Building Society with great customer service.

The Ecology BS support sustainable home building and put environmental issues at the heart of their business. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Ethical. Leading by example

This building society is approachable. I have attended the AGM's in person a number of times. A good rate of interest offered and rarely changes. I know my money is being used ethically for practical ecologically projects. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Great ethical savings and local community

Great to know savings and investments are used for good causes for the local community and with a great ethical ethos. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Explanation of and information on green and sustainable building using natural materials

I read the Ecology Building Society Review as it is full of useful up to date information. When contacting the Ecology Building Society they are very helpful and well informed. We are lucky to have a Building Society with an emphasis on Ecology. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Mr F J Knock

Always received free and friendly information on savings options Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Highly Commended

My Earthwise Cash ISA has quite a good interest rate . Also when I ring up with an enquiry I am always treated with the utmost respect and patience for which I am really grateful. My favourite Building Society I do not need the mortgage services but admire the fact that they only lend for environmentally sound builds and that the headquarters live up to their standards also I have really enjoyed the AGMs Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

great customer service and great neighbours!

the staff were very helpful to me when i was setting up a savings account. The head office is based in my home town and the building and grounds are a real community asset. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021
