Review of the first direct, Regular Saver Account:

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

The First Direct Regular Saver is one of the best on the market paying an excellent 7% interest on regular contributions of up to £300 a month. It's only beaten out by Nationwide currently on interest but with Nationwide having a lower regular contribution allowed. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Great rate of interest but fixes period.

Great rate of interest but its a fixes period. The bank closes your regular savers account after 12 months and deposits the full amount saved + interest in your current account. You then have to open a new regular savers account and start from scratch again. It's still good as it's 7% but you don't benefit from cash build up and compound interest in subsequent years. The do tell you this from the start so not a complaint but need to keep in mind that it's just short term benefit. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2024

Enticed by the higher interest rates but...

Enticed by the higher interest rates that this account had to offer at the time. My wife got an account without any troubles. However, my experience wasn't quite the same. I'm unable to proceed with my application because of an issue with the app! I will try again another time and hopefully get further. Reviewed on: 2nd January 2024

Brilliant bank

So easy to set up online. Great rates of interest Reviewed on: 1st August 2023

Best interest rate.

One of the best interest rate regular saving account. Reviewed on: 11th June 2023

Unbeatable interest rate

Great interest rate, of course I wish monthly max deposit was higher but it's worth opening account for just that, not to mention the current account switching bonus. Service seems excellent Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Great reward for current account holders

This account pays a great rate of interest for current acc holders Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Fab interest rates

Love this savings account it’s made me knuckle down and save properly and I love watching it increase each month. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023
