Savings Account.

Savings Account. I have a savings account with First Direct. It was very easy and quick to open i did it through the app/website. I could easily manage/check my balance online and in the app. The interest rate was good at the time comparing to the rest of the market however it would be great if this was higher. It had a fixed interest rate which is always the best type to have. Reviewed on: 15th July 2025
