Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Ethical in every way

5
We have saved with Ecology for years, knowing that our money will be used for good. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

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

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

Trustworthy and open.

The Ecology has always been open and honest, and offered excellent interest rates on savings when others were reducing theirs to almost zero. With the Ecology I know that my savings will be invested ethically. Reviewed on: 16th March 2021
