Review of the first direct, Regular Saver Account:

Makes you save and that's good

Overall First Direct's service is great anyway but I really like this account and open one each year. I'm a reluctant saver and easily distracted but because you lose the bonus savings rate if you take your money out this one really makes me stick to it unless I really really need the money (which Im usually able to convince myself I can manage without).

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

Regular Saver

High interest rate.Top of the table Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Completely satisfied

1st Direct is one of the best banks I've used in the UK. The user experience is excellent Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

High paying but not flexible

I love the high interest rate (7%) on this savings account. The max monthly amount is decent (£300). However, not being able to change the monthly payment date is inconvenient Reviewed on: 10th April 2023

What a great rate!

Fantastic rate for those who have a regular amount to save and can put away for 12 months. I do one each year Reviewed on: 10th April 2023

Great interest rate

7% on a regular saver linked to my current account. Easy to keep an eye on and very rewarding. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Can't beat the interest

First direct offers 7% Interest annually on their regular saver account when you switch to their first account. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023
