Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (564)

Great customer service, no complaints

I switched to Ecology Building Society 6 months ago because I wanted my savings to be used in a climate-friendly way. The switch was easy, there were no problems and I can still use Online Banking to manage my money. I wish I'd switched earlier. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ethical investment

I wanted to invest ethically and liked this company and the range of products available. I found them helpful and easy to deal with Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Easy to use and ethical

Had a great experience after being with Ecology for a year. Good communication about their policies and easy to use. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

People orientated

My mother (who had also previously held an Ecology ISA) and I had a joint savings account. She sadly died in the middle of last year. When I phoned to notify them and get the savings transferred to an account in my name they dealt really sympathetically and quickly to resolve the situation. They phoned me back promptly and suggested a more preferential savings account than the one I had identified. This was actually a closed account type but as a long-time customer they identified that I could access the higher rate it gave. Without that advice I would just have transferred the savings into one of the lower interest accounts available. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ecology Building Society puts its ethical principles into practice

I've saved with the Ecology Building Society for about 20 years now. I am delighted to be a member of an organisation that 'walks the talk' when it comes to environmental sustainability and treating people fairly. I see the climate emergency and the ecological crisis that we face as the ethical issue of our times - and one that the Ecology Building Society is taking seriously. It is great to see the Ethical Building Society putting money to very good use - enabling people to live in sustainable properties and contributing positively to our country's future. I'm impressed that the Ecology doesn't 'rest on its laurels' but is always actively looking for new ways to increase its impact. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ethical saving at reasonable interest rate

Interest rates are very low everywhere so we made the choice to choose a saving that would bring something more than just interests. Glad we made this choice! Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Brilliant company to work with. I trust them with my money.

Prompt and friendly service any time. Good savings products on offer. Very impressed with the projects they support. Informative newsletter Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

A "green" building society

A friend recommended EBS to us as a savings bank. We are very happy knowing that our small savings are helping other people build sustainable homes. I love the fact that literature from EBS shows real people (ie looking down to earth like me!). Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Very satisfied long-standing customer

I've been a saver at the this building society for over 30 years - from back when virtually no one had heard of 'ethical banking' - and they have always provided great service as well as very high ethical standards. I have also had mortgages with them. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Good feelings all round

I love saving with Ecology, I know where my money is going because the newsletters are so informative and interesting, and I can stand behind my ethical beliefs and values by doing so. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
