Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (560)

Real sustainability, not "greenwash"

The future of the UK and global economy depend on urgent and comprehensive action to address the climate crisis. The majority of financial institutions are making vague noises about doing something "by 2050" but in practice it's business as usual, financing the manufacture of deadly weapons, massive new fossil fuel and mineral extraction projects, and propping up tyrannical murderous regimes throughout the world. As well as being morally obnoxious, this diverts finance and human talent from constructive and environmentally sustainable activities which will ensure that the planet will be fit for future generations to survive and thrive. Ecology Building Society is one of the (currently) pitifully few institutions which operates on 100% ethical principles - the sooner all banks follow suit, the greater the chance of avoiding global disaster.

More important now than ever

Being a member of the Ecology Building Society allows me to: 1) Know my savings are being invested ethically. 2) Provide finance and credit to innovative projects that would otherwise struggle to attract funding. 3) Contribute to the transition of UK housing to a sustainable carbon footprint. Not many savings providers allow you to cover so many bases so easily! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Excellent Service

I am a saver with the Ecology and the service has always been excellent. My mother was also a saver and I have recently had to wind up her estate and the telephone support I have received has been sympathetic, efficient and timely. I cannot recommend the Ecology highly enough. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Rare find!

An ethical efficient considerate building society Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Saving with ethics in mind

They have an helpful customer service as well as good interest rates for the saving accounts offered. Also good to know that your money goes invested into good causes. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Great ethos

Lovely to deal with, Ecology have values that align with ours, ethical pay structures, investments in energy efficient housing. It's a shame interest rates are so low across the board, but we hope to use our savings and secure a loan for an EnerPHit standard home renovation - we know who to come to! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Good service for savers and brilliant principles on mortages

Member since early 1990s when we decided this was a good place to invest a small inheritance. Have invested regularly since and always had good experiences. What is so attractive about the Ecology is the way in which it supports sustainable and innovative initiatives. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Fabulous socially and environmentally conscientious bank

Fabulous socially and environmentally conscientious bank. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Huge improvement

They do what they say, and now they are better at staying in touch and making it easier to understand their decisions. Thanks very much! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

reliable ethical savings account

Ecology seem to manage ethical savings with a better rate of interest than any other provider. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
