Ecology Building Society Reviews 51

I selected Ecology Building Society to invest some money because of their environmental credentials. I found it interesting reading reviews of how is has financed eco projects, conversions, etc. Each I receive an invite to attend the AGM which always looks interesting as members who have benefitted from mortgages or loans talk about their experience. But the venue is too far way. But I get to read about it. I would not hesitated to recommend the Ecology Building Society to other people who want to see their money be used in an ecologically friendly way.

Fabulous organisation.

I am very happy I made the switch from a high street bank. It is good to know my money is being looked after whilst doing something positive

A friendly company with a strong ethical agenda where I know my savings are safe and being put to good use.

When my mum died I inherited some money and knew she'd prefer me to invest it ethically, where the money is put to good use and not to just make some rich city folk richer. Ecology BS provide an easy to negotiate website and faultless service. I feel good about having chosen to put my mum's money here

Simple withdrawal process from a BS which does a lot of good for individuals, environment and the planet/

Trustworthy, ethical, unwavering in their values. A great way to save, knowing your money is not harming people or the environment.

Easy to navigate, clear instructions.

The Ecology Building Society is an ‘eco-friendly’ banking service that allows me to save with a clear conscience knowing that their loans & investments aren’t damaging our fragile world.

Excellent, personal service. Always answer the phone at once. And totally ethical. Have been a member for many years. Highly recommended.

Ethical Building Society - easy to do business with and very efficient online service

With care of the environment as its purpose and practice on many domestic initiatives, a Building Society that gives Savers assurance for the long-term.

I recently spoke with our local new Green Party candidate who had never heard of the Ecology Building Society! I have had an account with them since they opened in 1980 and value them as part of my money management arrangements. They deserve to be much more widely known...

helpful staff real people in uk based office can speak my language clearly and have commonsense to answer and contributure to the conversation.
Most refreshing.
I have supported for years. They do excellent work, their heart is in the right place!

Fantastic Building Society with great values

Colleagues are genuinely helpful, caring and considerate

I've been with the Society for many years now. I love their ethical policy. Withdrawing money appears to be rigourously protected by the in place security measures, and oaying in is easy vis BACS. It would be good if an ISA that paid monthly interest was offered, as would the facility to pay in cssh via the Post Office, bur apart from that, I am very pleased with them. Try them. You'll like them.

This company is a true representation of how businesses should endeavour to help people to look after the planet. They offered me a mortgage, despite my age, to helped with the purchase of land for planting trees. Such faith in the restoration of the English countryside for the next generation. Priceless!

Ecology Building Society makes things easy to understand in plain English and are easy to talk to and very helpful. I love their Ecological perspective.

Very understanding staff who treated me as an individual and listened and supported me through everything I needed.
Excellent service.

Ecology Building Society are excellent. They are always courteous and very helpful over the phone and making deposits and withdrawals is very straightforward. Their ethical standards and support of ecologically resourced housing are excellent.

I was looking for an ethical bank that is transparent about where it invests my money and only invests it into companies and/or projects that are good for the planet and communities, and Ecology came out top. The process of joining was smooth and all done digitally/via photos of paper documents. There are a good range of savings accounts to choose from and although the interest rates aren't market-leading, they aren't bottom of the market either and for me it was more important to be certain that my money is being ethically invested. Transfers are pretty quick and all information is very clearly (if sometimes repetitively) given. Looking at the monthly newsletters, it's clear that they live up to their reputation for ethical, eco-friendly investments, and they really put their money where their mouth is with things like better mortgage deals if you're looking for a more energy efficient home or looking to do an eco retrofit. The only criticism I have is I would really like them to be a bigger company with high street branches, debit cards and an app, so that I could move all of my banking over to them.
