I take part in banking bribes but have stopped simply because having had a First Direct account many years ago, I actually found them efficient, offering the best interest accounts and more as against the banks that I regularly moved to. I’m staying with them now until such time I feel it’s time to move, but I don’t think that will ever happen. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Super interest rate, best on the market
