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

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.

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

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
