Savings FAQs

Does the base rate change affect my Coventry Building Society savings account?

It depends on the type of account you have with us:

Fixed - Your account won’t be affected because the interest rate is set for an agreed length of time.

Variable - We are currently reviewing our savings rates to ensure that they continue to offer fair value. While the Bank of England base rate is one factor that can influence savings rates, it isn’t the only thing we consider when reviewing and setting our rates.

What’s the current interest rate on my account? Is the rate fixed or variable?

To find out the interest rate you’re currently receiving on your account:

  • Log into Online Services or the app (if you're registered) and select your account. Your interest rate is displayed on the 'My actions' page.
  • Look at our range of accounts. If your account is no longer available to new customers, you’ll find it listed under closed accounts.
  • Visit our contact us page for ways to get in touch.

Whenever we list an interest rate, we always state whether it’s fixed or variable.

Will my rate go up by the same amount as the Bank of England base rate?

While the Bank of England base rate can influence savings rates, it is just one of several factors we consider when reviewing our rates. We remain committed to providing fair value.

Where can I find the terms and conditions of my savings account?

Your specific account terms and conditions were made available when opening your account. 

If you'd like another copy, you can contact us and we'd be happy to send one to you.

Will rates be increasing if the base rate goes up again?

We continually review our rates and monitor market movement. This is to make sure we offer long-term value to our members.

Mortgage FAQs

If my payment changes, what do I need to do?

If you pay by: 

 

Direct Debit (DD)

Your payment will change automatically so you don’t need to do anything.

 

Standing order

You’ll need to change the repayment amount with your bank/building society directly. Alternatively, we can set up a Direct Debit (DD) so that we can manage these changes for you.

I have a regular overpayment set up, will this continue if my interest rate changes?

If the interest rate changes and you've set up a regular overpayment (for example, you pay a fixed amount above your regular monthly mortgage repayment), we'll continue to collect this from you along with your updated mortgage repayment. If your overpayment has a capped amount, this may be impacted.

When can I transfer my mortgage deal?

If the deal you're on now is ending in the next four months - or if you're on a variable rate - you can arrange to transfer your mortgage now. No need for payslips, proof of ID or application forms. Just choose a product, and we'll guide you through the rest.

I have more than four months left on my deal, what can I do?

If there's more than four months left of your fixed rate deal, you can still transfer, but you may have to pay an early repayment charge (ERC) when you apply. Your original mortgage offer and your annual mortgage statement will tell you if this is the case or you can call us to discuss this.

When are your rates likely to change?

With the unpredictable market, rates are constantly under review and changes may be made quickly. Our website is kept updated as soon as our mortgage rates change.
