Coventry Building Society to open first new branch in city for 16 years
Coventry Building Society is opening its first new branch in Coventry for 16 years as part of a £5.5m investment to transform its network across the city.
Work on the new branch at Warwickshire Shopping Park in Binley has already begun ahead of opening early next year.
However this means that three other Coventry branches will soon be closing in Coundon, Stoke and Holbrooks due to the reduced use of the locations.
The investment in its Coventry branches will also see the popular new design, showcased at the Cheylesmore branch, being rolled out to more of its prime sites across the city, starting with the branches at Jubilee Crescent and Binley Road.
This will include a full counter service, in accordance with customer trends.

Matt Mannings, head of branch network at Coventry Building Society, said: "We’ve seen the importance of branches throughout the pandemic and this investment secures their place in Coventry. As the city’s local building society we’re committed to providing the very best branch service to our savers and borrowers for years to come."

The society says the new branch look has been created following input from branch teams, members and disability groups to make sure each branch is “warm, welcoming and accessible”.

Coventry Building Society reveals plan to close Earlsdon branch and relocate city centre one
Coventry Building Society has revealed plans to move to a new home in Coventry city centre and the closure of its branch in Earlsdon.
The building society is relocating its flagship city centre branch in High Street as part of the ongoing transformation of its branch network.
As part of its ongoing branch transformation programme the society has also announced it is set to close its branch at Earlsdon, which it said was “the quietest branch in the area”.
Coventry Building Society’s city centre branch will move to the Precinct in 2022.
The company has revealed its new city centre branch will be located in the former River Island store.
The Earlsdon closure, no date for which has been announced as yet, means the society will have closed four branches in the city, the others being Holbrooks, Coundon and Stoke.
