Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (571)

Excellent ethics

I love the Ecology building society. Their ethics inform their practices which means they are honest, sustainable with great customer service. I’ve been using them for years and highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

A truly ethical choice

I am so impressed by Ecology building society with whom I have been saving for many years. Unlike so many financial institutions they reward loyalty and have helped to keep a sensible interest rate for their loyal savers. It’s great to know my savings are being used in a really ethical way too. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

New ethical savings

Not only am I able to save with an ethical organisation, but they have given me a very favourable interest rate. Setting my account was very easy and the process has been swift and efficient. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Planet and customer friendly and effective

I have been a member of this organisation since it began. I have always saved with them through thick and thin money times because it is important to me that where I keep my money cares about the community and the environment. My partner and i have been to their A.G.Ms recently and have really enjoyed them and feel that we belong. We have visited the headquarters a few times which is an amazing building and grounds. They are an organisation that practise what they preach and we meet all the workers and board members and feel that we are valued, listened to and well informed both about finances and the environment. I talk about them often on social media and on our community radio programme Green Giraffes and Worms on salfordcityradio.org where we talk about making good use of resources for humanity and planet earth. THANK YOU Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Finally, environmental peace of mind

I have already recommended Ecology to friends/family! Opening an account with them was more old fashioned than other banks but I didn’t mind - it just shows they’re prioritising the important things like ethics over a fancy app. They’ve kept my interest rate higher than any other bank during the crisis, and it means so much to know my money is doing some good for the earth somewhere. Thank you Ecology! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Exceptional service

Excellent service both by phone and email. The opening of my first account has been very efficient and helpful. I would recommend other savers to use this service. Fredy Velez Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Ethical and Sustainable

Its so important that to support green investors to build a better world and tackle the climate emergency. I'm so glad I have a reliable, friendly banking service where I know the money is making a positive difference Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Friendly and responsive

Been a member for 25 years. Always had good, friendly and personalised service. Their interest rates are also pretty decent in these straitened times. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Green credentials and best savings returns

Attracted to products due to green credentials. Impressed by leading rates of return. Online process could be made slicker but overall good products Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Ecology is no BS!

OK, so 'BS' means 'Building Society'.... My experience of the Ecology BS is that it provides a service that is extremely friendly, trustworthy and reliable. I have never had any cause for concern in my years of dealing with them. Tick, VG, gold star, smiley face! :D Reviewed on: 11th March 2021
