Banking with First Direct for over thirty years

We’ve been banking with First Direct for over thirty five years and found their customer service to be second to none. Always able to respond quickly and positively to any request and issue that we have raised. Staff are always polite and extremely knowledgable. Reviewed on: 25th March 2026

The Bonus account is easy to set up.

The Bonus account is easy to set up and gives a good interest rate which allows you to invest any amount of money a month and you can withdraw at anytime but you will lose your interest rate for that month. Reviewed on: 25th March 2026
