Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (560)

practical ethical savings

I have saved with the Ecology Building Society for about two decades now, as I want to support their aim of helping build and renovate ecologically sound homes. I have always found the staff efficient and friendly and will stay with them for the foreseeable future. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Excellent ethical and environmental choice

The Ecology Building Society is unique amongst UK financial institutions in its ethical stance and environmental objectives. I have been a customer of the Society for about 30 years and have 2 savings accounts, including a cash ISA. Access to savings is easy with the online service and enquiries are always dealt with in an efficient and friendly way. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Integrity, heart, action

The record of the EBS demonstrates their consistent integrity in supporting environmentally responsible investment, and their transparency in actions and communications. A highly responsible and responsive organisation, one which practises what it preaches. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Honest Fair Ethical & Professional

I have banked with Ecology for savings for some time. I have always found the staff to be helpful and professional. They listen and try to help customers where this is possible. They have always managed my accounts well..I feel in safe hands. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Ethical and Efficient

Not only is the Ecology Building society, ethical, but any response we have needed from them has been quick and efficiently dealt with. Details of any changes that would affect us as customers are sent well in advance. Newsletters keep us informed of the projects they are working with and any other relevant news. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

An ethical Building Society

I have been a saver with the Ecology Building Society for many years. I appreciate the ethical aspect of their products, the staff's approachability and efficiency. I think it is a standout building society and would heartily recommend it to anyone who wants their investments to benefit the community and the environment. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Recollections of a non-executive board member, 1986 - 2000

I became a non executive director of the Ecology Building Society in 1986. I served in this role until the year 2000. We were a remarkable board: between us, there was a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We gave up our time to promote the society's work; our AGM's were well attended by the Society's membership. Each gave proper attention to the formal tasks but also developed fellowship between ourselves as directors, the staff and the members. In planning the AGM, we gave space to other green concerns to share their concerns. Perhaps, above all, there was a powerful sense of our responsibilities, both to our members and to the guiding principals bsaed in the Society's rules Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Save our survival

Save the human race - save the planet - save with Ecology Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Mutual aid always

I have been with the Ecology for more years than I can remember. Their ethical foundation is a fine example of money working for good. I can manage my account online so I don't lose touch with my investment. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Responsive, friendly, professional, competent

Since banks have increasingly moved online, the Ecology Building Society has maintained a high standard of personal contact banking by phone or email. Their customer service is faultless and their administration is efficient. They are also very good at keeping you informed of changes and of developments that may be of interest without trying to sell you anything. And, of course, they are devoted to a sustainable future for all. I wish we had a branch in our town! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
