Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (570)

Responsible, reliable, ethical, long-term financial planning is at the heart of EBS policy

Since EBS began in the 1980s, I've enjoy reading the Newsletter showing imaginative,eco-friendly new build and renovation housing projects that we, as members, enable. After the financial crash of 2009, the Society put in place extra safety mechanisms to ensure that members would never face the collapse of EBS. As a saver, it is the best mutual provider I can find in these difficult times of low interest rates. Lastly, I value the perfect customer care that is quietly and professionally given. It is a joy to ring up and find a solution to my dilemmas. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Ecological to the core

I love that Ecology use my savings to supply finance for redevelopment of properties and ecological house builds as opposed to just supporting mass house building which can be destructive to the environment. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Ecology BS is putting my money to good use

I am pleased to know my savings are going to help people get homes and protect the environment with the careful management of the Ecology BS Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Friendly and ethical

Ecology is committed to tackling climate change. That is why I save with them. I like their ethical stance. They are also super friendly! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

The most easily understood & practical form of investment I have experienced

Unlike other banks and building societies, the E.B.S. provided simple to understand procedures for investors, the chance to speak to both patient & informed staff at their office and stamped addressed envelopes for posting back completed forms Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Straightforward, friendly, environmental

I highly recommend Ecology, and am hoping to move more of my banking to them given their ethical and environmental focus, and friendly, professional, transparent approach. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Very good

Communicate well with good examples of how investments are used Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Always helpful

I have been a member of the Ecology almost since it started in the early 1980s and I'm never disappointed with the quality of the service that I get, all irrespective of the fact that the society does so much good for the world. Positive, friendly and efficient customer service with the full knowledge that your investment is being used to make the world a better place. What more could you want from your savings? Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Proper good people

I've saved with ecology for years. All dealings have been friendly professional and made simple by staff. Phone and speak to a proper person. Save and know your money is used ethically. Brilliant. Love to get the magazine too and learn about their lending. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

First Class Service and Values

I've been a member of the society for many years and I am impressed how they treat each member as an individual, not just a statistic. They share my own values, support social projects with lending and grants, and are a great home for ethical investments. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021
