What is the interest rate?
Annual interest (Variable) |
Monthly interest (Variable) |
||
---|---|---|---|
Balance | Tax-free^ p.a./AER* | AER* | Tax-free^ p.a. |
£0.01 plus | 2.85% | 2.85% | 2.81% |
We calculate the interest daily and pay it annually at the end of 31 March, or monthly, at the end of the last day of each month.
Interest can be added to the account or paid into another suitable account.
Can Coventry Building Society change the interest rate?
The interest rate is variable, so it can go up or down at any time.
For more details about why we may change the rate, as well as how and when we’ll let you know, see our Saving Accounts Terms and Conditions booklet (section 4).
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?
£1,028.50
This would be the balance after 12 months if £1,000 was paid in, all interest was paid back into the account annually, there was no change to the interest rate and no money was taken out or paid in.

Additional information
If you change your mind, you have a 14 day cancellation period after you make your first payment into an Easy Access ISA (11). Day 1 starts from the day you make your first payment into the account, so if you did this on the first of the month, your cancellation period would finish on the 15th day of the month. If you wish, you may change your mind and close the ISA within 14 days and it will be treated as if you never had the ISA, so you’d still be able to pay some/all of your annual ISA allowance into another cash ISA in this tax year.
Interest on ISAs is paid tax-free, that is without tax deducted. ISAs are a savings scheme initiated by the Government and are subject to change by them. For example the favourable tax treatment may not be maintained.
This account is a limited issue account, so we may stop accepting applications at any time.
* AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
