Coventry Building Society savings rates in 2026 range from straightforward easy-access accounts to regular savers, limited-access accounts, fixed-rate bonds and Cash ISAs.

This page compares the live Coventry savings range checked on 18 September 2026. It is designed to answer the practical question first: which Coventry account fits the way you actually plan to save and withdraw money?

Children’s accountsSunny Day Saver (3): Coventry’s 5.00% Regular Saver
Sunny Day Saver (3) currently has the highest headline rate among Coventry’s mainstream open savings examples in this review: 5.00% AER/gross variable. It is designed for monthly saving rather than placing a large lump sum into the account.
Taking money out does not restore that month’s paying-in allowance. If you have already paid the full monthly amount and later withdraw some of it, you cannot simply replace the withdrawn amount on top of the monthly maximum.

Coventry and The Co-operative Bank: Why Savers Should Watch the 2027 FSCS Change
Coventry Building Society purchased The Co-operative Bank on 1 January 2025. In September 2026, however, Coventry says the two organisations are still operating under separate banking licences. That currently means eligible Coventry and Co-operative Bank deposits can each have their own standard £120,000 protection limit.
A further change is proposed. Coventry says it intends to transfer The Co-operative Bank’s business, including smile, into the Society on 1 January 2027, subject to Court approval. The Court hearing is currently scheduled for 2 December 2026.
