Review of the first direct, Personal Loan:

Never any problems

I had two personal loans with first direct as banking customer, its so simple to apply, on the phone polite customer service & on the app a very fast response with fair interest rates. They are professional bankers who are human beings and consider every application. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Very unhelpful

Highly disappointed by the rate offered and by realising how disinterested they were in helping me out In a moment of difficulty where I was suffering the consequences of somebody dishonest and unlawful behaviour towards me, despite me having been a great customer always maintaining my payments up to date for 14 years.
