Time wasters

Misleading application process, lack of updates, unprofessional customer service. Waste of time.

Ecology Cash ISA - friendly and sustainable

It has performed well in this time. They have always been open and honest about the performance of the ISA and why decisions are being made. As a co-operative I feel involved in the membership leading the bank to invest ethically and sustainably. Whilst I have not been able to attend events, I understand that the membership meetings are lovely experiences. The website is useful, the communication is great, and I am excited for the new app coming soon. It is nice to feel confident that my bank is ethical and sustainable. Read more Read less

    Ethical investment made easy

    So easy to use EBS, with the added feel good factor that my investments are making a positive impact rather than just making some fat cats fatter.

I have been with Ecology for decades - since the days of hand written passbooks and envelope re-use labels to post cheques! The shift to the online portal has been efficient, offering straightforward and secure savings. Knowing my savings are used for good is important, and knowing I can add to them or withdraw easily is also important. Ecology succeeds on all those fronts. Highly recommend, saving for my children's future isn't just about saving in an account, it's about ensure they have a planet to inherit too. Read more Read less

I've been with the Ecology for over 20 years, and always glad to be a customer. One of the very few financial institutions that has a genuinely ethical and responsible approach. No gimmicks or special offers, just simple savings products with decent interest rates. In the past, the online banking was cumbersome, but it's now fine. So good to know your money is supporting other people who need loans to buy, build and renovate properties, rather than going to pay banker bonuses. Also a small company based here in Yorkshire, so what is not to like. Read more Read less
