Review of the first direct, Bonus Saving Account:

Easy app monthly transfer

Easy app monthly transfer from current account into bonus saver earning 7% potentially £136 pa -what’s not to like? Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Fantastic trustworthy service

First Direct is different to other banks, telephone and online banking 24 hours, and always very friendly staff. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

First in line

First Direct is a bank like no other. So easy to deal with . Always helpful and not in a pushy way. Reviewed on: 14th November 2019

Always efficient and user friendly

I have banked with 1st Direct for 17 years and cannot fault it. If I need to telephone them the call is quickly answered by a person, not an automated machine. That person can usually deal with almost all queries and if I have to be transferred there is no delay. The staff are always friendly, helpful and efficient. The Internet banking site is very secure,easy to negotiate and clear to understand. The monthly saver account currently offers the best interest rate of any other bank. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Best bank account

everything about them is just great Reviewed on: 9th January 2019

A really good introductory offer and excellent service

5% interest for a year is untouchable. A great welcome offer for opening a new account. They are also a very well established internet bank, so have lots of experience and innovation behind them. Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

First direct provides simple but reliable service

Best bank ever

Customer service is unbeatable with this bank! No call centre queues and UK staff. Reviewed on: 13th November 2018

You never know if it's a good or bad bank until something goes wrong

My bank messed up - they had inputted some details wrong about a direct debit that should have been entering my saving account, meaning I had not been saving as much as I thought. On discovering this they were fantastic at putting it right with minimal fuss and ensuring I did not lose out in any way. Super Bank - friendly staff on the phone. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018
