Ethical, friendly, efficient

I have saved with the Ecology Building society for many years, because I like their ethical, practical stance. I have always found them easy to deal with, they respond quickly to queries and I feel my money is safe with them Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

The Ecological Building Society is the ethical epitome!

For 40 years the Ecological Building Society has pioneered the use of finance to promote ethical and environmentally sustainable change. Through its internal and external practices it has set the benchmark for ethical financial provision. This success has has been examplied by being the first Fair Tax Mark accredited building society, the first to sign up to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Banking, being recognised in the Finance for the Future awards for their sustainable products and climate leadership, and being rated as a Best Buy for their savings and mortgages by Ethical Consumer. Whilst the world of banking is often perceived negatively, the Ecological Building Society is a beacon of 'green' ethical brilliance! Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

No problems and good to be part of.

We have not had any issues while saving with Ecology Building Society. It is good to be part of, reading the newsletters gives us information about the good work we are helping to support in small way. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Honest , quality ethical service. Telling us who they invest in several times a year.

We have found them to be impeccable in their service and ethos. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Ecology BS started before the world caught on.

EBS really does protect the environment by helping mortgagees to do the right thing. Its not just greenwash. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Investing in an Ethical, More Sustainable and Fairer Future Couldn't be Easier With The Ecology Building Society.

Opened a Regular Saving Account with Ecology Building Society in order to conveniently invest in a better future for people and planet. Have enjoyed a reasonable rate of interest over the past couple of years. Perhaps not the highest savings rate but there are normally others "costs" to society investing elsewhere; for instance, lending to businesses involved in damaging the planet or avoidance of paying tax in the UK, which robs us of the opportunity to adequately fund our public services. The account was easy to open and the contact I had with the office in Keighley was courteous and efficient. It has also been easy to alter my monthly payments according to my income and expenditure. Also, the salaries of the Directors and Executives do not seem excessive, especially when compared to the eye-watering rates of remuneration in many of these nationwide building societies - in my opinion, these excessive salaries fly in face of the ideology of mutuality and the building society movement.

Savings for the Planet

I am a founder member of the Ecology Building Society who not only give me good rewards for investing with them but use my money wisely to sponsor environmental issues which is so vital for future generations to sustain our unique blue planet. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Great Ethical Credentials

They are on a mission to build a greener society, using the transformative power of finance to support low-carbon homes and healthy communities, and helping to bring the vision of a fairer more sustainable future closer to becoming a reality. They're also rated as a Best Buy for savings and mortgages by Ethical Consumer, a rigorous independent standard ensuring that only the greenest and most ethical products are selected.
