Review of the Coventry Building Society, Savings:

Not The Leading, But The Best For Us

I opened a regular savings account with Cov BS a year ago. This was quick and easy to request online. Forms arrived soon after in the post, which required signatures. I returned these in a pre-paid envelope, and my account was opened in just over a week. Internet banking/log in is scure, and I receive regular emails inviting me to view our statement online. I have telephoned once, and visited in-branch once for unrelated reasons - the customer service I received in both instances was quick, professional and friendly. Email communication is regular, clear, and concise. I also regularly participate in a Coventry BS panel along with other account holders and also Cov BS staff members to discuss all aspects of banking with Cov BS, to participate in polls, and to answer questions (sometimes with the chance of winning a reward). Since opening my regular savings account the interest rate has risen several times in line with the base rate, and this is always acted upon promptly. I have since opened an easy access account. I like the set up of the society and its internet banking, which is easy to navigate, and easy to set up payments to. I feel my money is safe - there are no shareholders to satisfy! On that basis, I have no reason to consider changing to another bank or building society. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

I have recently opened a Junior ISA for my child, and it was really funny because they said there would be no app or website to control or just check the the account. You have to, literally either walk to your nearest branch or phone them up! I laughted and asked them if they thought it was 1986. It's very old fashioned! It's a way of putting it. I have now read some reviews of how people have been treated unfairly and it's really made me think. Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

Simple to use, excellent interest rates, and much more

Simple to use, excellent interest rates, great communications, helpful advice - profits go back to investors and into the local community rather than to a bunch of hifalutin directors and/or alien trust and hedge funds Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Offer competitive interest rates on cash ISAs.

Offer competitive interest rates on cash ISAs. Easily allow you to switch to another cash ISA they have recently launched. Good communication. Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Dropped off a little on interest rates but still good

I like saving with a building society rather than a bank. Coventry haven't been quite as competitive for interest rates this year but they are good at communication. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2025

Good overall

Quick customer service reply, good range of regular savings accounts and saving accounts. Easy to access. Transfers out happen next day but website easy to use. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2025
