Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

totally trustworthy

I have saved with Ecology Building Society for tears, happy to know that my savings are helping to rebuild and revitalise buildings in an ecological way, conscious of re-use and insulation and all things green. Hurrah for this building society giving mortgages and support to those who want to reduce co2 emissions and save our threatened global climate! Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Great efficient service

Easy to deal with - great online access - genuine provider of ethical savings accounts. Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Ethical supplier with top notch service

Ecology are a fantastic company to get a savings service with, they have excellent ethical values which could be taken up by the financial sector as a whole. Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Reliable ethical banking

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

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

Helping people and the planet

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.

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

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

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
