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

A great, small, ethical bank that makes you feel like you're contributing to something positive!

Banking with Ecology, although they're small and still catching up with the giant banks on some IT elements, is great. Their ethos and commitment to lending to individuals and communities to build environmentally-friendly homes make you feel like you're contributing to something positive through where you bank. Their customer service can't be faulted! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

A wonderful savings bank where your money is invested in projects that prioritise the environment

It is refreshing to read how investments with the Ecology Building Society are spent. Many of the projects they back through their mortgages are really inspiring. A savings bank whom I completely trust to manage my money both ethically and with commitment to the environment in mind. I have often recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Ethical, caring and future-facing

My husband and I have saved with the Ecology Building Society for around 28 years now and have always been impressed with their commitment to sustainability in their investments and approach, as well as in their own office set-up. Their Customer Service is superb; you speak to a named person who is unfailingly friendly and helpful. I inherently feel they are a trustworthy and honourable institution, and how many banks and building societies deserve that accolade?! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Ethical Savings

I love the ethos of the Ecology Building Society and I feel confident that my savings are supporting initiatives that I agree with. Its also great that its local to me. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Excellent customer service

Always available to advise with clear instructions ans easy to use website. Ethical investments ans competitive interest rates Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Responsive and responsible savings

Very helpful on the phone (which is answered promptly). Addition of online access to the account details is very helpful. I have had a small savings account for years and they have continued to honour what is now a very advantageous interest rate! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

simply the best

Been with them for 15 years I can fault their commitment to fairness and the environment Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

True membership-focused society

As well as the administration of the account always being clear and the customer service outstanding, the way the Society keeps members up to date with an informative regular newsletter. Participation in AGMs is encouraged and voting made easy. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Good service

An ethical building society that meets the needs of its customers and goes the extra mile when others will not. Always get an efficient service and great AGMs pre Covid. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Great!

As banking is one of the most effective ways of having a positive social and environmental impact, I'm shocked that there are so few ethical banks in Britain, especially considering the current "green wave". Ecology provides excellent service whilst making sure my money is not invested in industries that cause environmental harm. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
