Fantastic Savings Rate

Brilliant savings rate and generous monthly savings limit. Reviewed on: 6th February 2017

Just so easy there is no worry

Current account and regular saver accounts are churning the market like a washing machine in full spin but First Direct just keep a steady effortless course for the mainstream customer in spite of all this news grabbing turmoil about challenger banks and peer to peer lending that can leave you feeling exhausted.

Regular Saver at 5%

The best savings produt at the time Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

Great savings offer - highest interest rate I could find, easy to set up account

Great interest rate and easy to set up, excellent service as always Reviewed on: 21st November 2016

Great service, talk to a real person everytime!

First Direct do a regular saving account for customers, it currently pays 6% interest, which is fantastic. The account runs for 12 months, before maturing upon which another regular saving account can be taken out. I have had 4 of these accounts now and fully intend continuing with them. I use mine as a Christmas savings account, so it is an excellent way for me to have Christmas sorted without wondering how I will pay for it. Like everything with First Direct, it is easy to set up, with excellent communication and always a real person to speak to on the phone, without having to wade through a huge range of options. Definitely recommend this account Reviewed on: 23rd October 2016

New Regular Saver

I recently opened my first Regular Saver account with First Direct, and was impressed with their efficiency and the ease of opening the account. It showed up almost immediately in my list of accounts on the mobile banking app, and has been an extremely smooth process. The interest rate is good too! Highly recommended!

Efficient and Friendly Service

They are very good at responding to your queries and dealing with your requests and are always polite in the way they deal with you. Very pleased with the service received so far. Reviewed on: 5th September 2016

Excellent regular saver

First Direct offer one of the best regular savers on the market - it allows you to pay in up to £300 per month and earn 6% interest. It's easy to open and operate online, and payment in is by standing order which makes it easy to change the monthly payment amount if you want to. I've held these accounts for the last three years, and as long as they're still offering such a great rate I'll open a new one as soon as my current one matures. Reviewed on: 5th September 2016

Great rate and straightforward savings product

The First Direct Regular Saver offers a market leading 6% on savings up to £300 per month, and matures after a year. You must add at least £25 per month to your regular saver, but you can make up any shortfall (up to the £300 per month maximum) in subsequent months. The account can be opened online, and once you've created a standing order to credit your monthly savings to the account, you can essentially forget about it until it matures. Definitely worth getting in today's low interest rate environment! Reviewed on: 5th September 2016

Regular Saver Review

The interest rate is very high. If I want to change the amount, they always answer the phone within 60 seconds and you don't have any stupid menu options to go through first. They are always quick and helpful. The staff always sound like they care and are interested and the rate of interest is brilliant Reviewed on: 5th September 2016
