First Class Service

Lovely to be a part of a wholly ethical enterprise, but with no compromise on service quality. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Excelent Service , Putting money where it will really help the present and the future.

I have been with the building society for many years. I have always found their service prompt, reliable, helpful and personal. They have excelent policies and do splendid work in encouraging community housing and much more sustainaable building and adaptations. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Great building society for planet and people

The Ethical Building Society are fantastic because they are protecting our planet from climate change and ecological emergency by only supporting & investing money into projects and buildings that are sustainable. They do this yet pay a good rate of interest, an all round winner! Banking is hugely implicated in climate change because of their financial links with damaging fossil fuels. The Ethical building Society is free of this, as far as I’m aware. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Support for energy-efficiency - whatever your circumstances

I've been with the Ecology for more than 20 years, because I just support what they do. For many years I had hoped to build my own eco-house, but even when that plan waned, I still wanted to support the idea of my savings helping others with their eco-projects. The EBS has kept me updated over the years but not excessively so, it tells uplifting stories about people it has helped, and it's a way of savers helping even if they can't do their own building. I don't recommend many businesses to my friends because you can so easily be let down, but to anyone wanting to support eco-building and renovation, I'd happily recommend the Ecology. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Investing in the future of our country

I have been with the Ecology Building Society for about 20 years. I chose to invest in an ISA with them because of the ethical and ecological values the society promotes and exercises. Their customer service is excellent and their communications always clear. I love that my investment will have been used to help people build homes that will not harm our environment. I also admire that there is information on the website to encourage people to live in an environmentally sustainable way. The Ecology Building Society is a fine example of how you can run a business on ethical and sustainable principles. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ethics, service and fairness

I chose the society for its ethical credentials but have stayed with it for its service and way of operating. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

great interest & customer service

They never seem to get mentioned in the media's reviews of "best interest payers" so a nice secret ~until this gets out , and everybody flocks to them ! Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ethical savings -- Eco development

My savings aren't just safe with Ecology BS, they're also helping reverse climate change, pollution and housing decline, whilst investing in sustainable home building techniques and social housing provision. Ecology Building Society is run from a headquarters that is itself a showcase of sustainability. Thousands of households and even whole communities have been helped with building, converting and renovating homes to the highest environmental and social standards. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ethical and beneficial

Straight forward, honest and efficient organisation with a clear purpose and ethical standards. It delivers on its promise to support green investment and has offered reasonable rates in line with its values Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Best for the planet

Friendly and efficient, it is great to be able to put savings somewhere reliable and safe that can enable others to obtain mortgages for sustainable projects Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
