Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Great service combined with an ethical approach

I opened a monthly saver with Ecology. It was easy to set up and run, an ok interest rate, and no requirement to open an new account each year. Any dealings with the society have been efficient and friendly. Great to know my money is being invested in ecological and ethical ways. Reviewed on: 13th April 2021

My experience

Staff answer calls promptly, are helpful and friendly - real people! The Society has a policy to ensure the ratio of salaries between staff and CEO/management are fairer than most societies although the ratios are not as good as they were, which is a shame. Reviewed on: 31st March 2025

Ethical Consumer gives the EBS an ethiscore of 100%.

Ethical Consumer gives the EBS an ethiscore of 100%. Where we put our money is one of the most powerful ways we have of changing the world, so that's really important. Reviewed on: 31st March 2025

A small building society with big ambitions

I joined in 2022 and have been impressed with both their value for money and their approach to making the world a better place ever since. Even the AGM was fun! Reviewed on: 4th March 2025

Easy to deal with and an ethical provider.

Easy to deal with and an ethical provider. A happy customer. Reviewed on: 4th March 2025

Excellent Customer Service & Ethical Savings

I have been a saver with Ecology Building Society for a number of years. Their customer service is second to none: they are genuine and friendly and it is ALWAYS possible to speak to a human - no horrible call queues or phone bots. Any time I have had a query it has been quickly resolved. I like the fact that my savings are being put to genuinely green uses by the Society and that any interest my savings may generate is ethical. I thoroughly recommend them without hesitation.

35 years of ethical saving.

I've been saving with Ecology for 35 years and not only are the savings rates competitive, the AGMs and Member Meet-ups are very enjoyable. I particularly enjoy visiting the unusual venues and meeting like minded people who care about where their savings are invested. Reviewed on: 9th February 2025

British Company; British service!

Great customer services; British company; British people on the phone that you can understand; great ethics Reviewed on: 2nd February 2025

Helping to save the planet

Decent saving rates but helping to save the planet and that’s worth more than anything Reviewed on: 31st January 2025

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
