Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Ethical in every way

Many congratulations from a new 'Green' customer

I am a newly appointed Treasurer for a local branch of the Green Party. Our only bank account is with the EBS and I have found them endlessly patient and helpful in explaining how the account works and what I need to do. They are always quick to respond to phone calls and always give well informed advice. In a word they have been brilliant!. Reviewed on: 14th March 2021

Personal Customer Service

When I first signed up I had a lot of questions and the team were willing to answer them all in a speedy and friendly manner that is hard to find now days! Reviewed on: 14th March 2021

A remarkable organisation!

I joined the Ecology BS and opened two savings accounts more than ten years ago because I supported their principles. I have found they provide excellent service while promoting ecological design and sound investment principles. I follow their progrss with great interest and have attended one of their AGMs. I admire the way they have adapted to the new ways of working during this last year and have continued to offer an excellent service. It must have been tough. I really want them to get this award as they deserve it. We need the Ecology in this time of financial hardship and climate change. Reviewed on: 14th March 2021

Amazing AGMs

I try to attend the Ecolgy AGM whenever possible as the business session is kept to a minimum and the extra events are always fascinating, educational & enjoyable. It's justa great day out. No other building society of which I am a member compares to The Ecology. My savings accounts are efficiently administered and I am kept well informed about changes. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Excellent values.

Friendly, caring, informative and with excellent ways to demonstrate their values in practice. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Ethical investment combined with excellent value and service

Excellent, friendly customer service. Ethical investments that really do support the green economy. Honest and transparent interest rates policy. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

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
