Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Ethical, and so Supportive !

I love saving with a building society that does specific, practical things for the environment, and for housing (both so badly needed). Ethical - no investments in bombs or fossil fuels! The people who work for it are lovely! When I ring up to ask questions, I always get patient, friendly help and clear answers. Sure, the interest rate offered is modest - but this is outweighed by the peace of mind Ecology Building Society offers its customers. Reviewed on: 10th November 2024

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

A building society with ethics at its heart

I value Ecology BS for so many reasons beyond the normal service ad efficiency you would always hope for: they have a fair and sensible policy for staff remuneration (the best I've seen), they promote sustainable and energy-efficient projects, they keep all customers well-informed with their excellent newsletter about new projects and initiatives (far beyond the obvious realms of finance)... and so much more. They really stand out from the rest. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

ethical, informative, reassuring

I've saved with Ecology for over 30 years. I chose them because their ethics are completely clear, and in all that time I've never sene anything to ake me doubt their standards (unlike with some other "ethical" savings providers). I am well informed about how my money is used, and inspired by some of the stories I read. I trust them completely. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Great bank for savings

They are very helpful and offer good value for money savings products. Also, their technology is good and works. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Ethical investment

User friendly site with plenty of information. Investing in things I believe in is important to me. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Best eco-friendly savings in the UK

Once I realised that the interest my bank was paying me was simply my share of their profit on the ongoing destruction of the living world, I knew I had to look elsewhere. You'd do very well to find a better place to put your savings than with Ecology. I know I couldn't. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Well manged, ethical and personal

I have had a savings account with Ecology for many years and have found them to be clear, transparent, well-managed, ethical and very helpful in responding to questions. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Easy Ethical Banking

Straight forward enough process to set up the account. No complaints at all with the service. Interest rates competitive with the added benefit of knowing that your money is being put to good use. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Easy to use website

I have been using Ecology Building Society for regular savings for little more than a year. I have been very pleased, the website is so easy to use and I haven't needed to contact them at all. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
