Ecology Building Society places environmental values at the very heart of its banking. As a mortgage provider, Ecology lends to eco-builds, communal housing and restoration projects — the likes of which are often overlooked and undervalued by mainstream banks. In fact, discounts are often available for the most energy efficient projects meaning you can save on both mortgage payments and energy bills.

With a focus on transparency and fairness, all members are empowered to have a say in decision-making. As a saver, you know that your money is directly contributing to the building blocks of a sustainable and affordable housing stock for our future.

Members can expect a decent long-term relationship from this group who refuse to exploit existing members in order to offer attractive deals to new members. Scoring an unbeatable 100% on the Move Your Money Scorecard, it is unsurprising that Ecology Savings Accounts have achieved widespread popularity.
