Sleep at night, save sustainably!

I opened savings accounts for my children who've grown up green and ethical, and when I had some spare money to save, opened a Regular Savings A/C. As, like many people at the moment, my income has dropped, I was able to scale down to the minimum level by phone, and the person I spoke to sorted My debit immediately. Flexible, easy ! Its great to know that my savings are helping to back sustainable lending for green building project loans. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Good in these low interest days. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Savings to support imaginative carbon-saving projects and houses

The Ecology stated life in 1981 with a capital of £5000 and an aspiration to become an ethical lender for sustainable housing projects. According to Wikipedia: The purpose of the Society is to achieve the greatest degree of environmental sustainability. It lends money to create and maintain sustainable housing stock, preferably with sustainable communities and green enterprise. Its funding is secured with the least degree of environmental degradation possible, and with the greatest degree of stakeholder endorsement obtainable. It has filled a niche role all its life and now has assets approaching £200 million. Its AGMs before lockdown attracted hundreds of savers and borrowers and provided a forum for discussions on all the green issues of the day. I am proud to be a saver with the Ecology.
