Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Helping to save the planet

Decent saving rates but helping to save the planet and that’s worth more than anything Reviewed on: 31st January 2025

Money well used

You always know that the Ecology Building Society will make use of your money thoughtfully and usefully. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Friendly, approachable and ethical.

Ethical but more than that, anytime I've needed to contact they've been friendly and understanding. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Good investment

In the current savings environment it is important to me that not only do I receive competitive interest but that I have my savings in a company that has great green credentials. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Great bank, amazing customer service and matches my ethics

Always go the extra mile with any requests I've had whilst helping to finance a more sustainable world. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Fantastic social value

I have saved with Ecology Building Society for over 25 years. Service is first rate. Most importantly I can see that my money is being used for innovative building purposes. Over the years Ecology has demonstrated how renovations, new builds and conversions can be built to the highest environmental standards. As a saver I have seen through regular updates some of these innovations. I care deeply about environmental protection, mitigation of climate change and good employment practices. Ecology is outstanding in all of these areas, with a commitment to keep pay ratios below 8 (which they achieve) and leading by example in the construction and maintenance of their own premises. So, ethical and environmentally sound practices, ethical and environmentally sound lending policies and good savings rates. The best in the banking sector. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Great savings rate ecologically sound practices

I have saved with ecology for more than ten years because not only do they offer great rates but they also offer ecologically sound products that offer ethically great decisions Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

I have been saving with Ecology for many years. I feel safe knowing my money is not being used for anything of which I would morally disapprove. It is so great to have a buliding society you can trust with your money and your conscience.

Always professional, and helpful, and safe. Ecology are brilliant. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

ethical and plain speaking

I've been a customer for decades and been very pleased with their range of products - I think it's now more vital than ever to make sure our money protects rather than threatens our environment that sustains us - not to mention sustains all economic activity! Their communication is always in clear language - in a field where there is too often what seems to be deliberate obfuscation and lack of clarity Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Very impressed with their customer service, very efficient.

When I have made contact by telephone the staff member has been very helpful and efficient in dealing with my request. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Great organisation, worth supporting

Ecology Building Society would never claim to offer the most competitive rates, but you can be sure your savings are safe as environmentally-friendly houses, and they are being well used to fund innovative sustainable building projects across the UK. Ecology is a great organisation, and I have peace of mind knowing they aren't up to anything dodgy, unlike many other banks. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
