It is an easy and striaghtforward saver account with a great 7% interest. It is easy to setting up and easy to fullfill teh requirements. I always going for a max monthly ammount and enjoying a reward a year later. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026

Competitive interest rate

One of the leading interest rates on the regular saver at 7%. Very easy to use app, just set up a direct debit. Originally moved to first direct because of a introductory reward payment, got my card details stolen (no fault of first direct) so didn’t use the card initially and then didn’t meet the criteria to get the reward which was really disappointing. The interest on the regular saver has persuaded me to stay with first direct for now. Reviewed on: 10th April 2026
