Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (571)

First Class Service and Values

5
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

Great to be with an ethical financial institution

5
There is very little you can do with your money that doesn't cause harm to the planet or to people, so it's great to be with the Ecology Building Society. They are purpose led, not profit led. We need more like them! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Savings at Work

5
Ecology provide regular vibrant news and updates on how my savings are working in the community according to their values that I also share. Planting a tree may be a good marketing line for some banks but actually making a sustainable difference to how we house our communities is better. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Promoting sustainable housing for future generations

5
The Ecology Buiding Society is unique in providing a fair and competitive interest rate for its savers whilst offering mortgages to those committed to investing and protecting sustainable housing for future generations Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

What a team!

5
We have loved Ecology for their wonderful team, helpful and kind manner, and their responsiveness - not to mention their ethos and mission! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Ethical, climate-friendly bank with great customer service.

5
I feel part of a special community by saving with this institution, which I've supported for 30 years. No complaints, great service, reasoable interest rates and the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a difference in a small way. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Very happy customer

5
I have been with the Ecology for about 35 years originally as a treasurer and then as an individual saver. It is a unique organisation which does a wonderful job and they have never compromised their principles. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Fantastic service

5
Genuine people who give a service that treats me as a person, not just an account number. Human intelligence not artificial intelligence! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Such a delight to bank with

5
Knowing that my savings are in support of such an outstanding organisation means a lot to me, in a world where money tends to go hand-in-hand with exploitation. My only misgiving would be the amounts the building society's directors are paid, but the limit on the ratio between the highest and lowest earners is at least somewhat more radical than the rest of the industry. That aside, it's an organisation I'm proud to save with, and which also offers robust interest during these tumultuous times. Just outstanding. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Excellent service and I know my money is invested in a greener future

5
I encouraged my brother to invest in the Ecology Building Society, and when we went for him to open the account, we were treated to a guided tour of the wonderfully green building. We both have excellent efficient service with our postal savings accounts. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021
