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

Straightforward and guilt free saving

Easy to apply and manage online. Great to know my savings don't fund ventures that damage planet and people and do help support positive change in the world. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Innovative, ethical and friendly

It is always cheering to see the way Ecology Building Society has integrity in how they organise themselves. When I have needed support they have been understanding and helpful. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Superb company

Brilliant customer service but, even more important, a massive commitment to the values that underly the society. Feels like a wonderful family. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Decent rates, ethical values, would recommend.

I've been an investor with Ecology for a many years. The rates for ISAs are competitive, the underlying values of the Society drive their behaviours and they walk the talk. Their website is functional and does everything I need. They are an early adopter of green credentials and I intend to invest with them for the foreseeable future. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Supporting a mission through saving

I have saved with Ecology Building Society for a number of years because: I support its purpose of lending to support more environmentally friendly communities and eco-homes; savings rates are competitive; the Society provides informative newsletters about its work and interesting members' AGM/day; it lives out its mission in an impressive way its own operations.. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Efficient

Clear communication regarding the management of the account. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

I have had an ISA with Ecology Building Society for a good number of years and have been happy with this.ber of years and have been happy with the service and level of interest servic

I have been pleased with the level of service and extent of interest offered so far, but note that this is now effected by the general economic situation. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Doing good things

Great to know your money is being used to support sustainable projects. Get a fair rate of return and can be trusted not to drop interest rates for savers after short term incentives like others do Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

A Truly Ethical Savings provider

When coming to choose an ethical institution to place savings, there is not a great deal of choice. In my view Ecology Building Society and all it stands for make it the number one choice. Whilst Ecology may be slightly behind the curve versus other bigger financial institutions on the technological front, they are streets ahead in values. In the current low interest rate environment, it was a ‘no brainer’ to invest my savings with an organisation that is using it to the good through the funding of many eco builds, co-housing, retrofits and many more great projects. Well done Ecology for standing big and tall on ethics, compared to others in the field. Thank you. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Putting my money where my mouth is

This year I decided to make more ethical choices with my savings and pleased to say that The Ecology BS made it easy for me. Good product information and friendly, professional and quick service. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
