first direct Regular Saver Account reviews (132)

Review of the first direct, Regular Saver Account:

Great savings account - high interest

Good offer of 5% interest offered when depositing up to £300 savings per month. I apply for this 12 month account every year to maximise interest on my savings Reviewed on: 27th March 2017

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

What's not to like

Fantastic monthly savings accout for a year,with 7% interest rate, great for saving for rainy day, what's not to like. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Excellent Regular Saver Account, Excellent Service

I’ve had several first direct savers since I joined them when they first started. This product is excellent and has had all sorts of people scrabbling to open one this year, even before the in-year rate increase. Reviewed on: 27th March 2023

Best savings rate available

Great savings rate on regular saver account. Even increased the rate for existing regular saver accounts. Good customer service. Reviewed on: 26th March 2023
