Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (564)

Breath of fresh air in the banking sector

You can see that Ecology Building Society really live their values. Unfortunately with many so-called "green" products and services, scratch the surface and it's just greenwashing and an excuse to try and boost sales. With Ecology, that's not the case - they go out of their way to think about the impact of everything they do. They are an important beacon to the rest of the industry. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Exelent friendly and efficient service

I have used the ecology building society over the last 30+ years and found them to be consitently helpfull, and quick and very capable of providing an exelent service Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

The EBS is fantastic

I have been a member of the EBS for over 30 years they are the pioneers in ethical banking and lending for a range of small community, self-build and rural businesses that would otherwise have no access to ethical ways to save, or get loans or mortgages. They deserve some recognition for this outstanding service they have provided for decades. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Helpful, efficient and trustworthy.

Helpful and efficient from the enrolling papers through to day to day running of the account. As a busy person, running the account voluntarily on behalf of a charity, it is so good to know the company can be trusted to "get on with things" without needing constant interaction, yet are there to answer questions quickly and efficiently when the need arises. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

A small institution with a heart

I am a long standing customer. I have stayed with the Ecology Building society because I know where my money goes, i.e. to badly needed and underfunded green renovation projects Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Supporting eco-friendly projects

The Ecology Building Society supports projects that are eco-friendly. I have been a supporter since their foundation and really like their philosophy. I feel I am investing in the future and helping people who would otherwise find it difficult to get funding. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Ecology has a modern and transformative approach

The Ecology carries through its claims for a broad and innovative approach for customer care. Including products and wider support in environmental issues. Banking with integrity... Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Long time saver

Been saving with the EBS since mid 1980s. Had one mortgage with them. Set up a saving plan for my grandsons with them too. Excellent service. When you ring, you always get to speak to a person straight away. They’re always really helpful, clear and transparent. So delighted a BS exists whose ethical stance I can feel confident in. I’m proud to support them as they support me. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Great ethics

I enjoy saving with Ecology for competitive savings rates and strong ethical values. I'd love them to improve how much you can do online but customer service is always very good. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021

Why would The Ecology Bank not win?

After a long time searching I don't think there is a bank comparable The Ecology Bank in terms of social responsibility. Their forward-looking, sustainable investment policy and support for eco builds is unique I believe. Even though I'm not making use of that product I'd prefer to put my son's savings in a bank thsts genuinely considering his future in the practice. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
