Coventry Building Society Savings reviews (121)

Excellence

4
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

4
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

4
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

4
Good interest rate and good security Reviewed on: 31st January 2018

A trustworthy provider of savings accounts

5
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

5
An honest and respectable company that treats it's customers fairly. Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

Good service and interest rate

5
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

No-brainer!

5
I've had accounts with the Coventry for many years and have never seen a reason to leave. Their interest rates are generally a little above that of their competitors (vital in these times of such pitiful returns) and they reward loyalty by keeping rates on existing accounts a little ahead of their newer equivalents. Also the Coventry's website is a doddle, even for a technophobe like me! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Good service

4
I found it easy to set up my account, but it was difficult to initially access the online banking service. Interest rates are reasonably competitive, and the customer service has been good when I've needed to contact them. Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

Redisign /simplify online/telephone/security

1
The most obstructive and cumbersome security questions and codes that i have ever experienced. They involve swapping postal communications just to set up and now a new additional code grid has been sent to me. I have given up trying to communicate with them. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2017
