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

Friendly, ethical and efficient

I save with the Ecology Building Society as they combine effortlessly and efficiently a bank that is rooted in principles and ways of working that are important for me and essential for our society with a friendly and efficient savings service. I have not hesitated to regularly encourage friends and family to save with Ecology. They deserve to best a positive example to other banks here and internationally. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Ethical company, ethical products, human service

The main things is that I know what my money is being used for, and it only supports sustainable lending and property. I like the ethos of the ecology which permeates everything they do, not least their amazing head office building. Transparent, ethical, sustainable banking institutions should be the only option! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

The best

Without doubt the most professional, helpful and ethical financial institution that I have ever dealt with. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Saving and supporting

I know my money is safe and that it is used to enable and support initiatives I believe in. I have had accounts for many years and am proud to be a part of Ecology community Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Ecology and ethics personified

I've been a member for over 18 years and pleased to support a financially viable business ahead of its time in terms of its core principals of ethical savings and lending criteria. This was, and continues to be, alongside its ethos of facilitating the improvement and maintenance of our ecological footprint. Ecology's administrative staff are always courteous, helpful and it is a real bonus to be able to speak to someone in person rather than the ubiquitous online interactions. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Friendly personal service

Easy to deal with, great staff knowledge of products. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Ethical and excellent customer service

Have been with ecology 20+yrs mortgage for a windmill conversion, savings for children, isa for myself, ethical, local, personal and caring - really caring. Customer services 100% Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

The only financial organisation I trust

They share the same ethical beliefs and practices we do. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Great savings great products

I increased my monthly saver account and went online and all went incredibly well. Staff were on hand to help me out when there was a password glitch and I couldn’t recommend them highly, especially when their pioneering work in changing the housing stock towards much greater sustainability. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

These people have been family friends since 1984.

Apart from the feeling of success that comes with knowing that your money is helping with the climate crisis, rather than the reverse, Ecology is unsurpassed for being there to help you. They have been known to 'phone this house to make a huge effort to get my income tax payment made before I was penalised for lateness; although of course it meant taking money out of their account. They always answer the 'phone promptly. And, though I have chosen "Savings" as my topic, this was the building society that would give me, as a single parent, a mortgage on a smallholding when nobody else would. It's always encouraging to see in the newsletter the homes and families that have been supported to live sustainably; but these are people who have put thier money where their mouth is, and constructed a sustainable office building - a beacon for us all.
