That's what being a mutual is all about.
We were founded in 1884 by Thomas Mason Daffern. He created a mutually beneficial relationship between savers and borrowers to help the people of Coventry buy their own homes. You might hear us being referred to as a 'mutual', and this is why.
As a saver, we look after your money and pay as much interest as we can. And as a borrower, we make sure your mortgage is affordable and offers good value, as well as providing great support if your circumstances change.
Your savings and mortgages are in safe hands.
From the little to the life-changing, we make it all add up. All together, better.
Coventry House, Harry Weston Road, Binley, CV3 2TQ, Coventry , United Kingdom

I was dealt with in a polite, efficient manner.

Helpful advisor who went out of his way to explain things and assist me. Excellent service

I called CBS with a specific query on my recently opened online cash ISA. The young lady who took my call was very helpful and really pleasant, but not the over the top “fake” nice that I personally don’t like. My query was easily resolved. The only niggle was the 15 minutes waiting time to connect to an advisor, however the automated system does keep you up to date and you are also offered the option for a call back. I simply put my phone on speaker and got on with other things.

I have just closed our remaining account with reluctance, but as part of a necessary simplification of financial matters as old age increasingly bites. Since our initial mortgage with the Coventry I have been impressed by the outworking of the Society's ethos; though contact has been entirely by web and telephone ny impression has always been of well trained and motivated staff and clarity of objectives and delivery. My one sadness has been the extent to which the Board has accepted that astronomical remuneration packages are necessary to recruit senior Executives etc. I believe there are still persons of quality and experience out there who do not need such large carrots and take pride in working for Charities and similar organisations.

Stay well clear of these cowboys, these muppets have stolen thousands of pounds worth of personal possessions, some belonging to a vulnerable, disabled person, there answer is to block calls & contact, upcoming court case will be displayed on here & Facebook
They really are heartless & think there above the law
Friendly advisors …competitive interest rates. Very easy to set up.Very easy website to use

Have no provision, or ambition, to roll over a limited withdrawal ISA when the expiry arrives into another ISA of the same type. Tried other providers before discovering the Coventry did, in fact, have a near-identical product on their savings account page, that they were seemingly not wanting to offer to a long-term saver with them. Have now opened the new ISA but so very clumsy. The NS&I renewal took three clicks and ten seconds, the Coventry took a thirty minute wait on the phone and then ten minutes.
