Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (564)

Open, honest, ground-breaking, principled

We’ve been saving with the Ecology Building Society for over thirty years. We started saving with them when ethical, green banking and saving was a tiny minority interest. Over the years we have watched their development. They have stayed true to their ethical and environmental principles throughout and we are proud to have helped them offer mortgages for sustainable and ground-breaking green builds throughout the country. There is no flash marketing, just an open and honest relationship with us as customers. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Lender for truly affordable greener housing

As well as being a saver with Ecology BS (three product holdings), I’m also an investor in the London Community Land Trust, to which EBS is a mortgage lender, thus supporting genuinely affordable housing in London. I’m also aware of their mortgage lending for green upgrades to existing houses. In my many years’ experience as both a borrower and saver with a wide variety of institutions, EBS is without parallel in its commitment to ethical, green savings and lending.

Strict ethical standards for your savings

There's no place for unethical banking and finance in a world threatened by climate change and environmental degradation. Ecology Building Society upholds the strictest ethical standards and I feel reassured that my savings are being looked after responsibly. I've ditched the big banks and wouldn't consider going back, whatever changes they make. They owe a debt to people and the planet that they'll never be able to replay. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Accommodating and professional

I have return to The Ecology Building Society after a short period away, to find that not only could I reinvest, but my 'old' account was still active and ready to go. The assistance received was of the highest order, and I am a very happy investor. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Responsible banking

I feel more trust with this bank and am glad my savings contribute to making changes towards a better future. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Brilliant

Its assuring working with such an ethical company Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Excellent communication

From personal enquiry to Annual Report, Ecology communication is always clear, pertinent and efficient. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ethical Savings and investment in a green future

Energy efficient building is a must for the future of our planet. The Ecology Building Society have been at the forefront of this encouraging ordinary people to think Green. I feel happy and confident that my savings are being used for this laudable purpose. Not only do I get that but the company is run efficiently and the service for savers is excellent. I am proud top be associated with EBS Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

A proper Building Society with ecological principles

We've saved with the EBS pretty much since their inception; it's good to know that our money is being used to fight against climate change. The staff are always helpful when we have contacted them. What's more the EBS is a proper Building Society that belongs to its members. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Safe and responsible banking

Ecology represents the sort of society in which I want to live, caring for the environment and banking responsibly. The staff are approachable and management structures are clear. The people who manage Ecology and those who oversee its workings are open to scrutiny. I feel safe saving with Ecology. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
