When ever you need help or have an issue First Direct customer support is excellent and always there to help. Other Banks need to use their services to learn how to treat customers. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Interest rates are great, but the app is lacking functionality

4
Having the highest regular savings interest rate (as far as I am aware), is always going to get my interest. But the app is basic at best. It misses out on functionality that so many other banking apps offer, and doesnt come close to the functionality of modern banking apps, such as Monzo Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Regular savings account
