Review of the Coventry Building Society, Savings:

Overall good

Good rates, timely uprating, very efficient Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Frustrating to set up and register online

I have just opened a savings account with them and I have never before found setting up and registering for online banking so annoying, long-winded and frustrating! I almost gave up with the amount of paperwork and failed attempts I made! However, the 2.5 % interest is the best I could find on the market at the moment with a maximum of £500 a month paid in for a year. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Friendly and helpful staff

Great staff at our local Coventry Building Society - patient and helpful Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

No brainer

Opened Junior Isa for both my children, they have the best rates and they are a company I trust. Can't go wrong. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 19th November 2018

Excellence

Both me & my spouse have used this company for a few years & have been consistently impressed by their professionalism, loyalty & savings rates nearly always above those offered by other more lauded & popular organisations who invariably fall down badly in the customer care department. Coventry provide a service for all & do not push their clients down the current road of insisting on internet banking, again unlike the more 'usual suspects'. They cater for all in that they deal in branch, by post, by phone & online. I cant recommend them highly enough & its been a pleasure speaking with their customer advisors. Reviewed on: 26th May 2018

Genuine customer first approach

The Coventry do exactly as it says on the tin, which is refreshing in this day and age - they put the customer first. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Reliable but difficult

I feel as though my money is very secure with this company, I've had great customer service in every experience but I've had trouble with getting access to my ISA almost every time even though I have the right documentation, it takes a while. Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Good overall

Good interest rate and good security Reviewed on: 31st January 2018

A trustworthy provider of savings accounts

The Coventry Building Society is the only savings account provider I have found that consistently pays good rates of interest, has never tried to move my money into low interest accounts and has never offered me poorer rates than new investors. If only all financial institutions showed such loyalty to long term customers. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2017

Honest and respectable

An honest and respectable company that treats it's customers fairly. Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

Good service and interest rate

Very easy to set up and transfer in old cash ISA. Great customer service when contacting the bank and good interest rate. Reviewed on: 13th November 2017
