All banks should run like First Direct. Although I predominantly use their digital services (which are simple, easy, and feel safe), it's the ability to call and speak to a real human straight away that sets them apart.

Best choice I ever made

I’ve been with first direct for about 4/5 years now & I am so happy that I made that change. Their customer service is first class. They’re banking app is quick and easy to use. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

There's no fuss or delay with First Direct - you phone them up and a real, live, friendly human answers the phone - no automated announcements, no selecting options, no keying in of account numbers. Just straight through to someone who can help. So simple, so effective, so brilliant I've stuck with First Direct for more than 25 years (and hopefully many more to come).
