High Interest fixed ISA

When interest rates started to rise, I moved from a low interest ISA into a high interest account for very small cost. Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Great savings accounts and ways to keep your money safe

really like this company, they have lots of different types of accounts, of which I have several as I really like how they are set out to keep your money safe. They also have good interest rates to lock your money away for a few years Reviewed on: 20th March 2023

Easy to access

Easy to access account information. Unique offers for existing customers Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Ok but some advice confusing

I have been with CBS for some years. Recently when I took out an ISA the accompanying small print was confusing to say the least resulting in losing half my allowed investment. Very disappointing. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Safe

I get excellent savings rates and feel my money is safe Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Security matters

The Coventry Building Society take security very seriously. I feel very confident that my money is safe with them Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

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

Reliable

It helps having a local branch to sort out the wrinkles. On line big recent improvements and responsive to interest rates going up and informing customers. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Overall good

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

Great rates and options

Great rates and options of savings. Easy to set up online and staff also very friendly and helpful. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023
