Review of the first direct, Regular Saver Account:

Best rate around

I love this bank, excellent customer service Reviewed on: 14th March 2023

Great end of the month saver

With interest rates so low this has been a real bonus account, enables you to save up to £300 a month and if money is tight one month can catch up in the following months. More than happy with how easy it was to set up will use again next year. Reviewed on: 20th June 2016

10/10

Excellent customer service and great rates. Reviewed on: 30th May 2016

Excellent savings rate and terms. Good customer service

Chose a 12 month regular saving account and it offered the highest rate of interest that I could find on the market. Flexible terms, great service Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

GREAT BANK

The thing I love about banking with First Direct, everything can be done online or over the phone, with more and more banks closing their branches, accessibility is key for me. First direct have no nonsense phone lines and no robots, they have UK based call centres and are overall very helpful. Reviewed on: 13th February 2016

simple friendly good banking

First Direct take pride in who they are and that is passed on to their customers. Nothing is too much trouble and its very easy to do your day to day banking with them. If there is a downside then its their atrocious rate of interest, but that is the same with most banks these days Reviewed on: 29th December 2015

cant be beaten on the rate

I always make sure I open one of these accounts when the previous one reaches the end. The rate is the highest on the market and is flexible. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Excellent product with excellent customer service.

I really rate First Direct highly. Their customer service is absolutely first rate. They answer the phone within 2 or 3 rings and the first person you speak to can deal with almost any issue. Their savings account has a very good savings rate currently 6%. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Great savings account - the best interest rate I could find

I ensure I open a regular savings account with First Direct each year -they always offer the best interest rate I can find anywhere and the terms are quite flexible. I like the fact we can change how much we pay in each month Reviewed on: 3rd December 2015

Great interest rates - excellent customer service

Straight through to UK-based customer services within 90 seconds. Very helpful staff who sort my issues out immediately and ask if they can help me with anything else. Dealing with this bank is a dream. Reviewed on: 20th November 2015

Limited website for an online bank

Limited website for an 'online' bank. People are lovely and efficient but would prefer to be able to change standing order to regular saver without having having to phone up and speak to them every time! Reviewed on: 7th November 2015
