Coventry building society used a forged mortgage to seize an oaps home. The court case caused him to stop eating and taking his medications. He died due to the shock. Coventry building society does it really take 10 years to show him the unsigned mortgage he never signed. Shame on you. Read more Read less

    Good mortgage , simpler than other banks to pass the checks. Also like that it's easy to check the current balance with their app.

    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.

    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.

    Branch experience great, online poor

    Branch is great and accessible. Sadly online access leaves a lot to be disputed. Clunky, difficult to use and lots of repetition and waiting around.... Branch is great and accessible.

    Competitive Cash ISA

    The four access cash ISA pays a competitive interest rate. Coventry Building Society are good at communicating any changes to the interest rate. They now have an app as well.
