The interest rate is fixed until 31 May 2026.

We calculate the interest daily and pay it either annually at the end of 31 May each year, or monthly, at the end of the last day of each month.

Annual interest can be added to the account or paid into another suitable account. Monthly interest must be paid into another suitable account.

The interest rate is fixed.

No matter what happens to interest rates generally, we won’t change the rate for this account until it matures at the end of 31 May 2026.

£1,053.67

This would be the balance after 15 months if £1,000 was paid in on 1 March 2025,  all interest was paid back into the account, and no money was taken out or paid in.

How to put money into your account

You may pay in up to your annual ISA allowance for the 2024/25 and/or 2025/26 tax year. You won’t be able to pay in more money in future tax years.

You may pay in money to this account, up to your annual ISA allowance, depending on how much money you have already paid into other types of ISA (e.g. stocks and shares).

Currently the annual ISA Allowance is £20,000.

• Pay in cash or cheques in a branch.
• Post us a cheque.
• Set up transfers from an account with another bank or building society or another account with us.
• You can also transfer in current and/or previous years’ ISA savings using an ISA transfer. If you’re transferring in your current year’s savings then you must transfer all of it, as you are only able to pay into one cash ISA with us per tax year.
• Important deadlines: if you want to pay in towards your 2024/2025 annual ISA allowance, we must receive this by 5 April 2025 (the HMRC deadline). If you want to pay in towards your 2025/2026 annual ISA allowance, you can do this between 6 April 2025 and the deposit deadline detailed below.
• This is a limited issue ISA and you have a limited time to pay in. We must receive the first payment into the account, and any other payments in (including ISA transfer instructions) within 14 calendar days of us accepting your application, by 19 April 2025, or while the account is still open to new investors, whichever is longer.
• As you have a limited time to pay in, please be aware that if you do not pay in your full ISA allowance within these timescales, you will not be able to add the remaining funds into the account before the tax year ends. 
• The minimum balance is £1.

You can’t take out part of the money

• After the 14 day ‘cancellation period’, you can’t dip into your money before 31 May 2026
• You can close or transfer the ISA before 31 May 2026, but we charge you the equivalent to 90 days’ interest on the account balance.

You can close the ISA and keep the money tax-free by moving the money to another ISA with us or another provider, using an ISA transfer. You can also move the money to another Coventry Building Society account, or to your Named Bank Account, but in that case it will lose its tax-free status.

How to close your account

• Arrange an ISA transfer to another provider, without losing the tax-free status of your savings; contact them to arrange this
• To transfer ISA funds to another Coventry Building Society ISA, without losing the tax-free status of your savings, go online, call us or pop into a branch
• Pay money to another Coventry Building Society account or to your Named Bank Account, call us or pop into a branch.

What happens when the ISA’s fixed period ends (matures)

This Fixed Rate ISA (281) will mature at the end of 31 May 2026.

We’ll write to you at least 14 days before this to let you know how you can re-invest your savings with us, take out some or all of your money or arrange an ISA transfer out of the account. There will be a default option – another ISA with us. The length of the fixed ISA will either be shorter, the same or no more than six months longer than the duration of your current fixed ISA, and options to take money out will be no more restrictive than those offered by your original account.

At maturity, the money in this account will be automatically re-invested into the default option unless you have asked us to do something else with it. However, you’ll have the option to take money out or even close your new ISA, without being charged within 21 days after the end of your fixed period.

Fixed Rate ISA (281) is not a flexible ISA

This is a limited issue account, so we may stop accepting applications at any time.

^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.
