I love this company and we have our mortgage, credit cards and saving account with them. Rates are competitive but what stands out is the customer service which is extremely efficient and best I have ever received.

Best bank I have ever dealt with for customer service, brilliant responses every time

Read moreI bank with First Direct and when looking for my first mortgage last year I did my research. I scoured the internet, got quotes from a broker and spent a lot of time looking around.....only to find that my bank had the best rate, fixed for longer than anyone else and they were great to work with during the entire process. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

From the start of our mortgage 18 months ago to present 1st Direct customer service has been excellent, so much so we also have a current account and savings account with them. Best bank I have ever had.
We fixed our mortgage this year and couldn't fault the customer service.
Halifax was by far the best mortgage rate we could find for a fixed rate mortgage. We've had excellent customer service so far. Would definitely recommend.
Good homeowner loans and mortgage deal, great customer service and online security
One mistake after another in mortgage application. Has taken months and still not resolved. Nobody at their side least bit helpful. Couldn't care less and just shunt you around different people who tell you different lies. Just about to lose the house...

Now that the mortgage is active, I have a great interest rate (with no fees, bonus!) and can overpay at any time through the online banking. If I ever need to phone the mortgage team, they answer straight away, 24/7, and are friendly and helpful.
The one small downside is that I can't see the balance of the mortgage online, which is a little disappointing from an online-only bank. However the product and service are so good that I can easily forgive this little flaw.

Took months to process a mortgage. Well beyond their stated target
As a result I lost the house and an currently searching for another
Terrible communication
Even the complaints procedure is non functional
I believe they used to be good but nowadays avoid
The WORST bank I have ever dealt with
My favourite bank and best for customer service by a mile
