Our Expert Opinion on Coventry Building Society Easy Access Saver

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

At 2.00%, this account sits below the easy access market average and 3.00% behind the category leader at 5.00%, so it is hard to recommend for anyone who is rate-focused. It also falls 1.10% below CPI inflation of 3.10% (Aug 2026), meaning your money is losing real purchasing power. If you want to stay with easy access, Kent Reliance's Branch Easy Access Saver pays 3.20%, which is a more meaningful rate. The £1 minimum makes it accessible to almost anyone, but the low rate is the obvious catch here.
