Changes to savings rates
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these changes 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’ll send you a letter or email in the coming weeks if your variable interest rate is going to change.
Why hasn’t my rate gone down by the same amount as Bank of England Base Rate decreased by?
Our savings rates are not linked to the Bank of England Base Rate but it’s one of the factors we take into consideration when we review our rates. We’re committed to offering you great long-term value and ensure we offer the best rates we can.
