Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Why would you *not* save with EBS?

5
Why would you not save with EBS? Good rates, savings in positive projects, friendly responsive costumer service. Reviewed on: 1st October 2024

Reliable ethical banking

5
Very supportive building society, I save with them to be ethical and sustainable. Their IT is catching up with that of the major high street banks, but their customer service is great and you can rely on their banking services. Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Excellent banking experience

5
Excellent banking experience and knowing my savings are going to good environmental causes Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Helping people and the planet

5
Ecology provides me with a method of financing a rejuvenation in housing stock abd also reducing the carbon footprint of accomodation. I also receive a fair return on my investment. It's a win, win, win situation! Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Caring for customers not just profit.

5
Despite the low interest rate the society has kept it's word and did maintain the 1% interest on one of it's accounts I fully expected they could have called a force majeur senario but honesty and integrety is what builds a good reputation. I am proud to be a member and supporting their green credentials too at a much needed time. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Ethical saving

5
I have been saving with Ecology since 1990 mostly via their ISAs. It is the greenest of all my investments, so I know that my money is being put to good use. I enjoy reading their newsletters. It is the only financial organisation whose AGMs I attend, because they are informative, educational & great fun. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Ethics provides meaning and direction

5
I am very happy to save and invest my money with the Ecology Building Society. Its ethical principles and governance ensure that the money is used to create a better future for all of us. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Good company which makes members feel valued.

Good company which makes members feel valued. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

A truly ethical bank

5
I feel my savings are safe with Ecology and the rate of interest received is fair. Better still I know that my money is being used to fund good causes, ie improving the environment, helping cut emissions and preserving old buildings. It's also great also to be able to talk to a human being, should any communication be required. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Best for people and planet

5
Ecology building society have a brilliant telephone service, not put on hold with automated messages but get to speak to a real and knowledgeable person. They are supporting Britain to have more sustainable housing in the climate and ecological emergency we are in. All banks should be like them so that we limit the catastrophe of the climate and ecological emergency. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022
