I have recently opened a Junior ISA for my child, and it was really funny because they said there would be no app or website to control or just check the the account. You have to, literally either walk to your nearest branch or phone them up! I laughted and asked them if they thought it was 1986. It's very old fashioned! It's a way of putting it. I have now read some reviews of how people have been treated unfairly and it's really made me think. Read more Read less

    Offer competitive interest rates on cash ISAs.

    Offer competitive interest rates on cash ISAs. Easily allow you to switch to another cash ISA they have recently launched. Good communication.

    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.
