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

Ethical and friendly.

I have saved with the Ecology Building Society for more than 25 years and I shall continue to do so. It is always a pleasure to receive their newsletter because unlike other financial institutions I have dealt with, I enjoy reading about the projects they support, all of which are ethically based and seem to me to make the world a much better place. I have found them very helpful and the savings interest rates in the contexts of others of a similar nature have always been very good. Above all, I appreciate that my savings, such as they are, help to support projects of which I approve. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Principled ethical and friendly

A building society whose values are rooted in backing sustainability in terms of the property they invest in through their loans and have excellent service for their customers. The AGM’s are informative educational and fun. This is a model omission for all banks and building societies. Hire to serve and prosper and take care of people and our planet.

An ethical savings society

I chose the Ecology Building Society because of its stated ethics - green, fair and progressive. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Competitive, ethical and friendly banking

I opened a savings account with Ecology Building Society after reading that they had been scored the most ethical bank in the UK. They may be a small building society, but their interest rates are surprisingly competitive, which is why I subsequently opened a high interest monthly savings account with them. They are constantly improving their tech, and their website is very easy to use. On top of this, their customer service is second to none, and I've never once had a bad experience with them. Ecology invest savings into providing mortgages and loans for people building eco-friendly homes, or retrofitting their existing property with energy-saving measures. I'm pleased that my savings are being put to good use, and I look forward to other members helping me to achieve my eco home ambitions some day in the near future. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Great!

Reliable, functional, transparent and guilt-free - a great banking experience. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Great service

Some excellent savings products, which retain their interest rate. Excellent customer service - you can ring up or handle transactions online. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Regular Savings Account

I like this account because it usually pays a competitive interest rate and continues indefinitely. Also Ecology BS supplies a helpful annual statement which gives me the figures I need for my tax return each year. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Personal service and fair interest rates

I've had an ISA with ecology Building society for many years and have always found their service and advice very good. It's great to receive newsletters on the type of investments they are supporting. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

ethical investment

I was very happy to find a savings account from Ecology BS that invested my money in sustainable, low/nil carbon projects that contribute to a climate-resilient world for future generations Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ethical AND great service

I have had a 90 day notice savings account with Ecology for a number of years and the interest rates have been good, the service personal and efficient and I have no complaints whatsoever. Well maybe one- that I am not allowed to invest more money with them in my chosen savings account! Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
