Review of the first direct, Regular saver:

VERY GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE

top bank, great AER, highest interest rate and also love the app simple and highly secure! Reviewed on: 28th November 2018

Very interesting

Good rate of interest and easy to set up without any hassle from overzealous sales pitch. Reviewed on: 19th June 2017

Fabulous customer service

They really go the extra mile and make you feel a valued customer Reviewed on: 9th June 2017

Great interest rates offered

Another great product from a great bank. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

5% savings if you save up to £300 a month

First Direct offer 5% savings from their Regular Saver Account, if you save between £25 and £300 a month. It's a fixed interest rate so won't change once you've opened the account. It's only available to First Direct current account customers. Reviewed on: 31st March 2017

High interest - 6% net!

8 months ago I started a Regular Saving plan with First Direct. It pays 6% net interest as long as you leave the money in for a year and you can pay in up to £300 a month. Beat that! Reviewed on: 28th March 2017

Great savings account - high interest

Good offer of 5% interest offered when depositing up to £300 savings per month. I apply for this 12 month account every year to maximise interest on my savings Reviewed on: 27th March 2017

A good first impression

I moved to First Direct because of their excellent customer service reviews and their regular saving account rate. I've just bought a house so I no longer have a lump of savings - however, I do want to start saving again. This savings account fits my finances perfectly. Yes you can only deposit a maximum of £300 a month, but that suits me. By the end of the year, I'll have a nice little savings lump with 5% interest on top. Perfect! Reviewed on: 2nd March 2017

Great Customer Service

We've been with First Direct for over a year. Moving to them was fast & hassle free and any queries since have been dealt with quickly, professionally & by lovely helpful staff! Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Good interest rate

I read about this account on MSE and opened a savings account right away. For a small saver like me, this one-year account is ideal for the 6.0% AER that it pays Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

A no fuss regular saver

Easy to set up and manage their regular saver is a modest no fuss account which can be relied upon each year to have a high rate of interest. Reviewed on: 7th February 2017
