Review of the first direct, Regular Saver Account:

Happy Customer

I'm a very happy customer overall but I especially love the Regular Saver account. This is my third year of using this option. I don't miss the amount that goes out into it every month and the interest gained is a welcome bonus on fruition Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

7% interest fantastic

7% interest fantastic can’t draw out so I’m not tempted Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Amazing interest rate, great app features

Amazing interest rate, great app features and the ability to use the first direct debit card abroad fee free is also an additional bonus. Would be even better if we were able to deposit more than £300 a month! Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

Excellent bank.

Excellent bank. Easy to use online Reviewed on: 1st March 2024

Customer Care and Value

Customer service was great, very easy to contact 24hr/ 7 days a week. The app is super user friendly and takes no time to set up. They have a variety of accounts which works well so the customer can choose to their individual needs. The interest rates on the regular savers account is particularly very good. Reviewed on: 18th February 2024

Great interest rate but low monthly savings

The First Direct Regular Saver account is a solid option for individuals looking to save with a competitive interest rate of 7%. However, the account does come with a notable drawback: a low monthly savings limit of £300. While this limit may be sufficient for some savers, it may not meet the needs of those looking to save larger sums. Nonetheless, the account offers a high interest rate, making it a decent choice for those looking to grow their savings incrementally. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024
