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

Great money

I switched to First Direct and it has been a game changer. The most appreciated product is the regular saver account offers a 7% interest that helps me to put money aside beating my mortgage rate little by little Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Great saving account

Excellent interest rate for £300/month investment over a year. Funds have to remain in the account to receive income. Great ‘forced’ savings, which suits my retired lifestyle Reviewed on: 21st March 2023

Best rate around

I love this bank, excellent customer service Reviewed on: 14th March 2023

Easy to set up

Easy account to set up online, Once its complete I set up another this is the 3rd consecutive regular saver that I have had. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Excellent customer service

Joined First Direct recently, very impressed with the ease of joining, professionalism of the staff and easy to use app Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

7% for your money!

The main reason why I opened this account was to start saving money. It's as simple as setting up a direct debit and each month you will pay yourself. After 12 months you will %7 of it! Reviewed on: 9th March 2023
