Ratings and Reviews
Good app but additional features required
The Coventry app is good. I really like dark mode and opened their new savings account really easily on the app the other day. I would really like to see my ISA deposit information in the app, ISA allowance used, flexible ISA allowance etc. I also find it annoying that withdrawals externally still take one working day, Coventry should really be doing same day withdrawals to a nominated bank account by now.

Hello App lover! Thanks for your feedback, we're glad to hear your enjoying the app. We've passed your feedback about what you'd like to see on the app to our developers. Thanks, Jo.
Can’t use the app
I have an online account with cbs so thought I’d try the app. I wish I could give a good rating but I can’t because I can’t even get past the login stage. I keep getting an error message saying there is a technical issue and I need to access my account via a browser.
Having read some of the reviews here it became apparent that my problem (perhaps) was because I have a vpn running on my phone. There’s no indication in the app btw that this might be the problem.
I turned my vpn off temporarily and managed to get past the login page to then receive another error message saying this account was registered to another device. Well other than my windows laptop where I access cbs via a browser, I don’t have another device where this app installed so I’m stuck. I’ve deleted the app until such time cbs gets its act together both on the vpn issue (which ironically makes me more secure when accessing services) and the device problem. I’ve never had issues like this with other financial apps I use regularly. Sorry Cbs- must do better.

Hi Sanseb2024, Unfortunately the App does not work when using a VPN. We are able to de-register the app from your device, you can email us at cbsappreviews@thecoventry.co.uk with your contact details and we'll be in touch to support you. Cheers Alex.
Doesn’t work with VPNs
Like an increasing number of people I use a VPN to encrypt my data and protect my online security. Sadly therefore, I never got off first base with this app because it needs to know your location and so a VPN, by definition, is an issue. I just get the ‘oops’ message when trying to register. No other banking app does this to my knowledge. Yes I could turn off my VPN and turn it on again after I’ve finished, but it’s another hassle.
This needs a rethink Coventry. Perhaps I’ll try it again in a month or so in the hope common sense has prevailed.
Update: Appreciate your developer response but I beg to differ. If I turn off my VPN I can login. As soon as I turn it on again I get the ‘oops’ message again. My VPN is not one that allows exceptions so I’m effectively unable to use this app. It’s simpler to continue to use Safari.

Hi CanalGudgeon, thanks for your feedback. We're constantly reviewing our security processes however, the app does work over a VPN. Please give us a call if you're having issues on 08001218899. Cheers Alex
