Review of the Nationwide, Regular Savings:

An Ethical Alternative in Mainstream Banking

Nationwide is a great environmentally sound and ethical alternative to the planet-wrecking, consciousness-lacking traditional banks. While they are not as green as, for example, Triodos or Ecology Building Society, they offer a broader range of services and are mainstream—a household name. They also provide a substantial number of local branches, making them easily accessible. Their employees, both online and in branches, are friendly and knowledgeable, always keen to help with any queries or concerns. I have been banking with them for eight years and have been very happy, although more recently I have reduced the number of products I hold with them in favour of even more environmentally and ethically focused providers: Triodos and Ecology Building Society, both of whom I can also highly recommend.

An Ethical Alternative in Mainstream Banking

Nationwide is a great environmentally sound and ethical alternative to the planet-wrecking, consciousness-lacking traditional banks. While they are not as green as, e.g. Triodos or Ecology Building Society, they offer a broader range of services (includind credit cards) and are mainstream - a household name. They also provide a substantial number of local branches, making them easily accessible. Their employees, both online and in branches, are friendly and knowledgeable, always keen to help with any queries or concerns. I have been banking with them for eight years and have been very happy, although more recently I have reduced the number of products I hold with them in favour of even more environmentally and ethically focused providers: Triodos and Ecology Building Society, both of whom I can also highly recommend.

Review of the Ecology Building Society, Savings:

Ethical Building Society with a Personal Touch

I discovered Ecology Building Society through Ethical Consumer Magazine and opened two savings accounts with them. As a smaller building society, they offer a truly personal touch. They are highly professional, efficient, and very helpful - always keen to assist with any queries or support you might need. It’s brilliant to have a green and ethical alternative to the planet-wrecking, consciousness-lacking traditional banks. Their savings accounts also offer better interest rates compared to Triodos (who are also amazing and provide a broader range of services). I was especially pleased to hear that Ecology Building Society is opening a new branch to serve underserved communities - quite the opposite of what most of their competitors are doing, and yet so crucial!

Reply from Ecology Building Society Thank you, Lenka, for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It's great to hear that you've found our team helpful and approachable. As a smaller building society, building relationships with our members and offering personal support is a big part of who we are, so we're pleased that's been your experience. We're also glad our environmental and social values, alongside our savings products, have resonated with you. And thank you for mentioning our new branch in Porth. We're excited to be part of the Rhondda Valley and to bring face-to-face, ethical financial support back to the high street. We hope the branch becomes a welcoming space for local connection as well as sustainable mortgages and ethical savings. Thank you for choosing Ecology and for being part of our community.

Review of the Triodos Bank, Stocks and shares ISA:

A Brilliant Ethical Bank

I’m so grateful to Triodos for providing an environmentally sound, ethical alternative to the planet-wrecking, profit-first traditional banks that lack consciousness. Their friendly customer service has minimal waiting times, and being UK-based in Bristol, they also support the local workforce. Reviewed on: 19th April 2026
