I wanted a more ethical business to save with and I have been with the Ecology since they were founded. I have had excellent service. The phones are answered promptly and money can be moved with minimum fuss. Staff are always helpful and friendly. I hope they stay ethical, personal and small. I particularly liked the salary ration structure (so CEO and senior staff are not way above those who do so much of the work) albeit this has been diluted more recently. Read more Read less

I have been really impressed by Ecology Building Society. They are clear, transparent and straightforward. And when you communicate with them you speak to a real person who actually gets your situation. They were there for me this year when I needed them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, especially those who want to have a positive social impact. Read more Read less

I've been saving with ISA's for over 30 years with Ecology. Interest rates are competitive but what I really like are the unique AGMs and hearing about all the positive environmental activities.

The Ecology Building means savings are invested in positive change- although it’s definitely ‘slow banking’ over things like withdrawals, changing address, paper statements etc, this is a positive thing for me - my savings stay earning interest because I can’t quickly dip into them ! It takes 1-2 days. Customer service on the phone is good - they arranged an end of day Faster Payment when it was flagged for security, within 2hrs for house move. Good interest rates, only improvement is an app which is coming soon! Read more Read less

I love saving with a building society that does specific, practical things for the environment, and for housing (both so badly needed). Ethical - no investments in bombs or fossil fuels! The people who work for it are lovely! When I ring up to ask questions, I always get patient, friendly help and clear answers. Sure, the interest rate offered is modest - but this is outweighed by the peace of mind Ecology Building Society offers its customers. Read more Read less

I first opened an account with Ecology Building Society in the 1990s, and only closed the account because I needed the money, so when I again had some savings I opened a new account a few years ago. I prefer to deposit my savings with a company I am confident will use it wisely. I am convinced the EBS are committed to protecting our precious environment and they would never knowingly invest my money in anything unethical. Read more Read less

I've been with Ecology BS for over a decade; have always been v happy with their customer service and general comms. Although I could maybe be getting a better rate elsewhere, I know the money I've invested with them is doing good work to tackle the nature and climate crisis, investing in projects that make a difference. This makes me happy. Read more Read less
