Review of the first direct, Regular Saver Account:

Best rate around

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

Market Leading interest rate

5% interest on £300 a month. Easy to set up and you can start a new monthly saver as soon as the old one matures Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Savings account

I have just opened a regular saver account and it was very easy to open. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017

The best regular saver product out there

Used to be 6%, now 5%, but I cannot find anything to beat it. Also the £300 a month limit is higher than anyone else. Not good for stashing great wodges of money, but definitely good for saving up lumps of money for holidays, buy a car and other big things like that. Best of all, their customer service is the best I have seen from anyone, I actually like talking to them! Reviewed on: 6th September 2017

Very interesting

Good rate of interest and easy to set up without any hassle from overzealous sales pitch. Reviewed on: 19th June 2017

Fabulous customer service

They really go the extra mile and make you feel a valued customer Reviewed on: 9th June 2017

Great interest rates offered

Another great product from a great bank. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

5% savings if you save up to £300 a month

First Direct offer 5% savings from their Regular Saver Account, if you save between £25 and £300 a month. It's a fixed interest rate so won't change once you've opened the account. It's only available to First Direct current account customers. Reviewed on: 31st March 2017

High interest - 6% net!

8 months ago I started a Regular Saving plan with First Direct. It pays 6% net interest as long as you leave the money in for a year and you can pay in up to £300 a month. Beat that! Reviewed on: 28th March 2017

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

A good first impression

I moved to First Direct because of their excellent customer service reviews and their regular saving account rate. I've just bought a house so I no longer have a lump of savings - however, I do want to start saving again. This savings account fits my finances perfectly. Yes you can only deposit a maximum of £300 a month, but that suits me. By the end of the year, I'll have a nice little savings lump with 5% interest on top. Perfect! Reviewed on: 2nd March 2017
