    Bad Points: None


    General comments: I have received excellent service from the Coventry Building Society, which has meant that as well as the majority of my savings, I have recently transferred my current account to them. My previous bank (that I held a current account with for over 40 years) has progressively reduced its interest rates following cuts in the Bank of England rates to the point where the interest paid was all but non-existent, and I decided that enough was enough. After considerable thought and examination of what the competition had to offer, I decided that I should transfer my current account to a well rated and sound financial institution offering a consistently competitive interest rate on current accounts without unreasonably low 'ceilings' on high interest payments. Without mentioning names, just take a look at some banks which offer high interest on the first £2500 only in a current account.
    After careful scrutiny I decided that the Coventry was the choice for me and I have not regretted it at all.
    I had qualms about changing my bank, but the changeover from my existing bank has been handled by a dedicated transfer team at the Coventry who have dealt with the changeover in a most professional manner and kept me fully informed throughout.
    Based on my experience to date, I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending the Coventry Building Society for both savings and current accounts.
