Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Supporting individuals and cooperatives

I am very happy to save with ecology. I have both personal savings and the housing cooperatives I am involved with have been understood and supported with mortgages by ecology building society. We appreciate them taking the time to understand cooperative ownership as so many other large lenders do not understand cooperatives and ndo not provide suitable suitable options. The customer service is very good and they are a genuinely competitive option for saving, which is a joy of mutuals. Reviewed on: 26th December 2024

A truly ethical bank

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

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

Five stars for Ethical Organisation

Always a great personal service at Ecology Building Society. I love the fact that my savings are being invested in eco projects in an ethical way. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Ethical, reliable and transparent

So many reasons for rating Ecology highly, but especially value their clear explanations for any changes made to accounts, and the way that they treat longstanding customers with consistent interest rates. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Ethical savings account

As an Ecology Foundation Shareholder member, I'm proud to have been putting my money where my mouth is by saving with Ecology. Their customer service is second to none, too. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

M money doing good!

The Ecology is an efficient, friendly and ethical institution. The rates on savings are decent and I know that my money is been lent to good projects and good people, doing their best for the future of all our children. What's not to like? Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Keeping my money safe and using it to do good work

I feel safe saving my money with EBS. And I know it is being used to build and retrofit homes for the future. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Excellent service and reasonable returns on savings

Ecology Building Society easily outstrips the various other savings organisations I deal with in every way. Their support and communications are fast and efficient; their online system works flawlessly and in a user-friendly manner; their interest rates, at a time when others are offering pitiful fractions of a percent on savings, are reasonable. Most importantly of all, to my mind, their ethical approach shines through in everything they do. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

A great organisation

A well run outfit which has been fair with our savings and provided excellent customer service for more than 10 years. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022
