Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (582)

Small savings account doing good work

I have added modest but regular sums to my Ecology savings account for about 20 years. It's a Foundation Share account and the interest has stayed at a 1 %, a rate that now looks princely for an instant access account. I really like getting updates on projects Ecology has helped financed, especially self build or house conversions which always begin with a commitment to sustainability and finding ways of living and working that don't harm the environment. Staff have always been very helpful when I have phoned with the occasional query. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Green bricks and mortar

My wife and I have been savers with EBS for over 10 years and have never had any cause for complaint on the standard of service. They seem to be well-run, conscientious, aware of their environmental and social impact and it's good to know that our money is funding high quality, environmentally-sound building projects. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Ethical, Sustainable, Democratic

EBS has been a leading light in genuinely ethical and sustainable finance for longer than any. It is also genuinely democratic. If more financial institutions had been as far sighted we might be more able to meet the challenge of the climate crisis Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

A brilliant organisation

Ecology is a friendly, efficient supportive mutual building society with a great purpose. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

A high ethical standard

I've been impressed with Ecology Building Society's commitment to financing small-scale projects that have a beneficial impact on the environment. We read about them in Ethical consumer magazine and chose to invest some of our savings with them. It's been a really positive experience at a time when there is a dire need for good news. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

A greener society

I have been a member of the Ecology Building Society for about thirty years. I support the aims of the EBS as the only building society to fund ecological projects and promoting sustainable development. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

The best place to invest

Every interaction I’ve had has been a pleasure. This building society truly cares about its members. I’m so pleased I found such a delightful place to invest my savings, somewhere that will help others by using my investment effectively, fairly and ethically and to the benefit of the planet too! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Great ethical all-rounder for savers

Good on-line facilities, effective security and excellent customer service - with a range of savings options Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

They care...

... by providing ethical ways to invest; by letting me know how they use my money to 'build' ethically - ensuring the environment is improved rather than destroyed. And they keep me informed of about the genuinely exciting things that they do! When they need to change details of my investment with them, they ensure I know what the changes are, why they are made - and they give me the choice of how I am to be kept informed. I've been with them for many years now and have never had cause to complain. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

From every which way - the Ecology BS is what we want and need

I attended an AGM with Ecology. From the way they chose where to meet, the encouragement to use public transport or car share, the very building materials of their offices and their completely transparent sharing of data from all of the questions asked - like who is the least paid member, the highest - every aspect of business is completely thought through. That the Ecology Building Society subscribe to the triple lock of 'people planet profit' is absolutely superb. I cant rate them highly enough and they should be celebrated. Lets see how depositing or lending money can help shape our communities and landscape postively. Reviewed on: 11th March 2021
