first direct Regular Saver Account reviews (129)

Spot on

Above and beyond Upped interest rate mid term which is unheard of.....bravo Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

High interest!

Very easy to set up, linked to 1st account so money just comes straight out of there. 7% interest is fab as maximum monthly amount is high compared to other similar products. Reviewed on: 11th January 2023

Savings interest increased mid-term

Normally, with a Regular Saver account, the rate at the start is the rate that you get all the way through. But as interest rates generally started to climb, First Direct suddenly doubled the interest rate from 3.5% to a generous 7%, even though I was just over half-way through the term. I've never known a bank do that before! Reviewed on: 10th January 2023

Regular Saver - Exactly Right for Me

I've used the First Direct regular saver for a few years now, and it's perfect for me. I love the ease of it, and the rates have been good. The customer service is amazing, so I know if I need to ask any questions about it I can ring up and get them answered quickly. I've saved a lot over the past few years through the Regular Saver! Reviewed on: 10th January 2023

High Interest acc linked to current account

3% or more usually better than most high street banks and many online ones Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

Good product but limited

Monthly savings amount taken from current account every month… at the end of 12 months I get my money back plus enhanced interest. Limited to maximum £300 a month. Also once started the account that is the day of the month the savings are transferred. Only available to UK residents. One account per customer. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Good returns

I’ve had a few regular savings accounts over the years and the savings rate has always been competitive with any other accounts on the market. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

Amazing customer service and good saving rate

I have had a positive customer service experience with ever interaction. I have been with first direct bank for many years and they truly are leading the way for customer service Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

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). Reviewed on: 5th May 2020

Good interest rate

decent interest rate and great customer service! Reviewed on: 27th April 2020
