Review of the Coventry Building Society, Savings:

Overall good

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

No-brainer!

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

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

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

Easy Access ISA

Phoned up to open easy access Isa and they told me over the phone that the interest rate was going up the following day which was a lovely surprise and quite unusual Reviewed on: 30th March 2017

Great face to face service plus online services that actually work.

I have had several complicated transactions to negotiate with The Coventry over the past year and they could not have been more helpful. They followed the death of my father and whilst other companies seemed to make the process even more traumatic , The Coventry went out of their way to make it as pain free and simple as possible . I really cannot fault their customer service Reviewed on: 11th February 2017

Good interest rates offered, strong security set up for internet account

Good interest rates, good online security - lots of steps for logging in Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Really is Easy Access ISA (4)

Easy to set up this ISA on line, but I missed the comment that I couldn't transfer in ISA balances from previous years. When the form came to say I was transferring in this year's ISA balance it was confusing but when I phoned for help they were very helpful. Only drawback? The amount of post I received, each by separate envelope, welcome letter, passcode, letter about transfer, grid for reference on phone queries, etc. I got 4 in just one day! Certainly communicative.... overall happy with service and the interest rate is the best I could find for easy access ISA at the moment. Reviewed on: 20th December 2016

Friendly staff and good deals

Coverage is not national but that provides it with a more personal feel and a good customer focus. Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

Good rates and helpful staff

Good range of accounts and a friendly local branch Reviewed on: 27th January 2016

Fantastic savings account

Great ISA account with a competitive interest rate. Customer service is good when contacting them. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015
