High Interest

The best saving account from the most reliable bank. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2018

Great customer service.

I changed banks from Barclays and the swap could not have gone easier with emails explaining each step. Also received Bose headphones for changing to them. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2018

Great Customer Service

The staff are always professional, friendly and helpful! Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Interest

Excellent interest rate from a superb online bank. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018

Great Interest Rate

I switched my current account to FD around a year ago, and as part of the deal, you get a linked regular saver account. You can save up to £300 a month on a date of your choice, and you get a whopping 5% interest. It's a fixed 12 month deal, but you can open another and start again after the 12 months. The current account is great, and the regular saver account is the cherry on the cake! Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

No problem banking

Easy to use banking, works very well, allows you to be in charge of your accounts Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Excellent account

Regular saver allows me to save at a great rate of interest and means I don't touch the money whilst I'm saving! Reviewed on: 5th November 2018

Have had a Regular Saver for years

A very good interest rate and I feel I am treated well as a customer. Excellent customer service and bank. So glad I switch from a competitor. Reviewed on: 29th June 2018

Very good rate with Regular Saver account

I cannot praise First Direct enough. They answer the phone quickly and are always knowledgeable and professional. The 5% rate on the Regular Saver account beats many others hands down and their website is easy to use. So glad I switched from a competitor. Reviewed on: 29th June 2018

A great rate for a regular saver Reviewed on: 14th February 2018
