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

Very responsive and very helpful

Ecology Building Society lends money on projects to improve or conserve the environment; that's chiefly why I save with them. The customer service over the phone has been excellent whenever I have had any questions and deposits and withdrawals have been handled very efficiently. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Building society changing society for the better

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

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

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

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

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. A good customer service with prompt replies to your messages. Reviewed on: 16th March 2021

Friendly Approachable Society

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

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

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

I've been saving with the Ecology Building Society for some years and they'vce always been helpful and efficient. And their online services allow me to manage my savaings any time I want. Reviewed on: 16th March 2021
