Good for the Environment, Good for Me

I have saved with Ecology from the very early days, and have always been happy to know that my money is being lent on to properties and projects with strong environmental credentials. My dealings with Ecology staff have always been excellent. They are friendly, attentive and share the Ecology vision. I have enjoyed the annual AGM and Gathering on many occasions. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded members and staff, hear speakers and presentations on ecological subject, and discuss topics of mutual interest and concern. It helps to make me feel a genuine part of the Ecology family. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Friendly accessible account and organisation.

Easily accessible savings account via the online banking app. If I need to rank to anyone that is as easy and accessible as the account. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

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.
