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 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

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

Supporting sustainable building through ethical investment

Very friendly efficient service. Ecology enables me to make an ethical banking choice and for my money to support mortgages for sustainable building too. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Best support and communication ever

I've been with Ecology Building Society for quite a few years and I never had a moment when I felt uninformed or confused about my savings. I feel the company values me and my investments. The company is very ethical and I feel reassured by the way my money is invested. Thank you! Reviewed on: 8th April 2021

Great services and great customer experience

I've been with Ecology for quite a few years and I always come away from any dealings with them feeling positive - which is more than I can say for other financial institutions. I've always had the impression that they really care about their customers, and the quality and efficiency of their service, as well as prioritising people and planet with the way they operate. I feel like I can relax knowing that they're doing their best for me, even in these challenging times. Reviewed on: 8th April 2021
