Ecology Building Society is a Building Society in the United Kingdom. It is the 56th largest in the United Kingdom based on total assets of £75 million as at 31 December 2007. [ [http://www.bsa.org.uk/docs/consumerpdfs/assetslistjan2007.pdf Building Societies Association - Asset List (PDF File)] ] Established in 1981, the Ecology is based in West Yorkshire, and has over 10,000 open accounts. It is a member of the Building Societies Association.

The initial vision was to set up a building society that specialised in properties that conveyed an ecological benefit in terms of construction, use of land or lifestyle. The idea was sparked at a Green Party Conference, following the experience of a Yorkshire solicitor, David Pedley. He had great difficulty in finding anyone willing to give him a mortgage on a property needing extensive renovation.
The Ecology offers a range of mortgage products and lends throughout the UK. It specialises in renovation and new build mortgages on properties and projects that respect the environment. The society is particularly interested to see derelict and dilapidated property brought back into use.
The society also offers a range of savings accounts including instant access accounts, a notice account and an Individual Savings Account (ISA).
Mortgage and Savings accounts can be managed online via the Ecology's website or by post.
