Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (583)

Perfect squeaky clean credentials

Charming, efficient, courteous, helpful customer service when applying for first account. Feels wonderful and right to be going small and local and ecologically so sound, after being bombarded with pressure to invest by big eco bank. I feel respected and valued again, despite modest savings and only living on a state pension. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

An intelligent human voice

When ever I have needed to contact Ecology Building Society there has been a prompt human response. I have attended 3 of their AGMs and was impressed by the presentations and atmosphere. They talked about money as a means of helping people and gave examples. I have attended similar events with other banks and was simply drowned in figures and statistics. Ecology comes over as a knowledgeable bank that carers about people. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Ticks all the boxes

Great customer service, competitive interest rates, AND I know my savings are being put to work on worthwhile, eco-friendly projects. What more could you ask? Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

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
