Coventry Building Society

Coventry Building Society have been in business since 1884 and are now the third largest building society in the UK. They provide savings and mortgages to their members, both online and via their branch network.

Coventry Building Society has supported The Royal British Legion since 2008 through its popular range of Poppy savings accounts and Poppy fixed rate bonds.

These savings accounts, designed to ensure a good return for savers as well as a significant donation for The Royal British Legion, have generated over £5 million for the Poppy Appeal so far.

New Poppy accounts are often timed to coincide with Remembrance Day itself but have been launched at other times of the year too. To view The Coventry's latest mortgages, savings & investments and current accounts, please visit www.thecoventry.co.uk
