Excellent Regular Saver Account, Excellent Service

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
