Reassuringly honest

The Ecology is a solid, honest and friendly institution. Its values and foundations shine through everything it does. I'm proud to be an Ecology saver. Reviewed on: 13th March 2021

Using my savings to create great change

Really happy that I save with the Ecological Building Society. Its just so tangible what they do - I feel a real relationship to the focus of their lending, delighted that we deliver more sustainable housing projects this way. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

They're ethical

Making truly ethical banking a reality Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Impressive commitment

We first invested in the EBS nearly 40 years ago, when it was quite newly founded. The society has always been good to work with, with helpful staff and a great commitment to putting its funds to work in an environmentally sound way, often helping worthwhile projects that would otherwise struggle for financial support. It's been a pleasure to see the EBS grow while staying true to its principals. It's impressive too that senior staff have stuck with their principles, knowing that they would be capable of much higher remuneration elsewhere. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Most Excellent!

Always informative, clear information in a variety of formats. An interesting newsletter about all their products and issues beyond immediate savings. Keep up the excellent work. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

My savings work for people and the environment

I have been saving with the Ecology for years and it has always been a 'feel good' experience. The interest rates have been very decent and their newsletters have kept me informed of how my money is being used to help people build or renovate their homes in an environmentally conscious way, serving everyone and the planet. I thoroughly recommend them. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

The best ethical building society

Superb efficient service where you speak to a person not an endless procession of automated links Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

A great building Society

I wish there were more Building Societies/ banks like this. This is the future and more people need to know that there are other choices out there Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Solid commitment to ethical standards

Among banks, Ecology have some of the highest standards when it comes to ethical and green investing. The customer experience is also a pleasant one. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ecology BS is an ethical company that one can trust.

I have been a customer of the Ecology BS for over 20 years, using both mortgage and saving services. I have found them to be helpful, honest, reliable and ethical. The company helps our community to improve in a good way. I trust them to do their best for the customer. Recommended wholeheartedly. Steve Povey, Cumbria. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
