Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Ethical and Practical

5
Exceptionally helpful and easy to contact and deal with over my long history saving with them which includes two house purchases and a translocation overseas Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Building society changing society for the better

5
The Ecology promotes and supports ecologically sound building and retro-fitting. Attending their AGM in 2019 was one of the most interesting and informative days of the year for me and I know that my savings are being well used. Informative and good support when it is needed. Reviewed on: 17th March 2021

Really responsible bank

5
Excellent service provided by real humans and we are sure our money is being used for the public good, not excessive salaries for bankers and fat rake-offs for shareholders Reviewed on: 17th March 2021

Excellent service and ethical use of money

5
I have been with the Ecology BS since the mid-1980s. I have had several different savings accounts with them during that time. Although my investments are modest, I'm pleased to know they are being put to good use. The Society has always had a small-organisation friendliness and efficiency with any query. They have also kept up with modern developments and management of my accounts by online banking is especially convenient. Vernon Webb, Ludlow Reviewed on: 17th March 2021

excellent customer service, ethical green credentials

5
Ecology Building Society is at the forefront of ethical banking. It means a great deal to me that my money is being put to good use. The staff at Ecology have always been very helpful and friendly. Reviewed on: 16th March 2021

Saving for the environment

5
With ecology building society not only is your money used for the good of the environment through building more ecological structures, but they have kept good rewards for savers compared to other banks and building societies.

Friendly Approachable Society

5
As a new customer to the Ecology Building Society I find their aspirations exciting. The team are easy to contact and offer the support I value as a customer Reviewed on: 16th March 2021

A business that respects the environment

5
We all need to be held accountable for our actions, especially businesses who use our money - they need to be transparent, and that’s what the Ecology Building Society is. Reviewed on: 16th March 2021

Ethically sound with reasonable interest rates

5
I have had an ISA with Ecology for a number of years. I know that the money I have saved with them helps them to support ethically sound works which would not necessarily otherwise obtain assistance. The interest rates have been competative for the amount I am able to save. When I have had to contact them they have always been helpful. Reviewed on: 16th March 2021

Friendly, efficient and green

5
