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

Change the way we do finance

We need to bank differently to change the world, and The Ecology Building Society helps me to do that. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Very happy with Ecology

It is hard to find savings acccounts that are genuinely ethical like Ecology. Some companies just pay attention to a small aspect of ethics- just a token gesture, I appreciate that they are very local. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Future of the world

Good to know our savings are being put to sustainable use Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Ecologically sound and good interest rate

As the name implies the Ecology Building Society operates on green principles, so helps people tackle climate change directly, so you can feel good about investing. Their online portal is easy to use and offers a good level of security. More good news they also offer good interest rate. What more could one what? Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

First choice for ethical saving

I have had savings accounts with the Ecology for over thirty years. Throughout I have experienced first class customer service, superb communications, and I have enjoyed being informed of the Society's progressive work by receiving the practical and informative newsletter.

Great ethical savings option

Ethical and great customer service and loyalty. I am a long term customer and have never had any problems. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2021

Good service from an ethical business

I've been saving with the Ecology Building Society since 2009. I like their ethical stance and am pleased to be able to put my money somewhere I'm comfortable with. Their service has been entirely reliable and their website is clear and works well. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2021

For people, planet and the future

I have held a savings account with them for a few years now and it is great to see that a finance house is prepared to put people, planet and the future of humanity first in their decisions with what to do with the money. Very happy with their options plus world class customer service at every level. Very highly recommended and a breathe of fresh air in this financial arena. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2021

Straightforward, ethical, informative way to save

The Ecology Building Society are highly recommended for their environmentally friendly credentials, accessible website, great savings products, positive and wholly ethical business. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

EBS is just so ethical

I've been a member of the Ecology Building Society for over 20 years. Their ethical principles are second to none. It's so important that we put our money where our mouths are, and where our heart is! They also give good service and pay a fair interest rate. It's great to know that my money is helping to make the world a better place. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021
