The way forward

A perfect society for saving sustainably and ethically. Good rate and easy to navigate online services Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Excellent service - from a society that puts ethical concerns first

It has always been a pleasure to invest savings with the Ecology Building Society - knowing that the money saved with them is enabling the Society to help all kinds of projects which are beneficial to the environment, and knowing that the Society is guided in every aspect of its activity by ethical concerns, and the objectives of green policies and sustainability. I have been investing my savings in ethical funds since 1988, when I first started investing in an ethical personal pension plan with Friends Provident, and in recent years I have felt great confidence and peace of mind in investing other savings with the Ecology Building Society. Moreover, their customer service by phone and the online banking facility on their website has always been first-rate. If it's ethical investment you're looking for, you should definitely check out the Ecology Building Society. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Green savings

It's a fine place to put savings to work in a very important sector for reducing UK emissions. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

An ecologically sound investment

We have invested in the EBS over several decades, safe in the knowledge that the Ecology is focussed on building a greener society, using the transformative power of finance to support low-carbon homes and healthy communities, and helping to bring the vision of a fairer more sustainable future closer to becoming a reality. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

I have been with The Ecology for decades - truly ethical

There is no compromise with Ecology Building Society. It helps that they are local to me and when I first joined in the 90s I was able to pop in to their office with my pass book. Friendly, personal, genuine and truly innovative; and, as far as I know, they were the first ethical lenders. They are involved in ecology on a much broader scale than just as a building soc; they campaign, speak at conferences and publicise ecological and ethical schemes of others. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Helpful friendly banking

I have been a customer of the Ecology Building Society for many years. They are a truly ethical business, supporting local communities and promoting sustainability in all they do. They have always provided speedy and helpful customer service, including the move to online banking. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Excellent organisation

I admire the ecological aims of the society and appreciate their keeping me informed; their way of doing business is highly professional while also maintaining excellent 'customer service'. As an older saver (in my late 70s) I had some initial difficulty with the on-line checks and safeguards but was treated with great patience and understanding by the society's staff. An excellent organisation and to be highly recommended. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

The obvious choice

The week that the Ecology Building Society opened, I visited Companies House in London to verify their credentials and have had an account with them ever since. They provide a unique service, in that their are so few ethical financial establishments in which to invest which don't invest in arms or contribute inadvertently to the manufacture of nuclear weapons, by investing in the nuclear industry. The EBS are the only choice for many who wish to buy or improve properties which would simply not be considered by other building societies. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Individual Service

Very personal, very human. Good interactions with really helpful people Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Top rated ethical savings

Excellent customer service and my savings are being used ethically. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
