Customer Service

Everything about first direct is โ€˜first classโ€™
The service, the app, the rates. Would not bank with anyone else. ๐Ÿ˜

Weโ€™ve been with First Direct for many years including holding a mortgage with them. Communication and transactions are always straightforward and stress free. No complaints.

Great bank

Excellent app from a great bank

Best Bank!

I have been with First Direct for more years than I can remember and I have never been let down in any way.

I can phone anytime from anywhere and speak to another human who deal with my problems large or small with politeness and competence!
Thank you First Direct!!

Too many steps

There are too many steps to do a task compared to other bank accounts I have and their apps

Best bank ever

It really is!! :-) and always has been for the last nearly 30 years since I have been banking with them. THANK YOU

Banking made easy

Great app & absolute clarity of account status.
Easy to use & track your day to day transactions.

Nice app

Easy to negotiate for almost everything. No facility to look at direct debits and standing orders though. I know back and white is the corporate colours but background colours could be changed to soften the brightness and improve the UI.

First Direct -Still Brilliant!!!

Your staff with their training and skills never disappoint. Thanks to all

First Directory

Not happy it has been taken away, very unsatisfactory

Best internet bank

I absolutely love this banking app, so easy to use and clear!

Great service

Iโ€™ve had a few problems recently with my account card possibly being scammed and First Direct were straight on it I spoke to various people every one of them was so helpful. Get me a new card and then a new number I have told. Friends and relations how efficient First Direct have been once again I highly recommend them to people and the people can more helpful and efficient 10 out of 10 for everything thanks again guys youโ€™re great

Always the easiest to use!

As a very long term customer I can verify that fd works well and they answer the phone quickly for queries!

Payee not matching

The details of what the payee name is for the account details would help. Just saying โ€˜Does not matchโ€™ doesnโ€™t help. Is the name a close match?

Old customer review

Usual 5 star service you just cannot get any better

Like banks used to be

Even though it is all on line First Direct give a feeling that you used to get from your local bank manager caring and attentive with a good measure of understanding.

Cancelling and creating a standing order

Thank so common sense logic and ease of use

Excellent bank!

Been with FD for such a long time now and would never change. Customer service is top notch.

Smooth service

I rate FD very highly. App clear and reliable.

Best ever bank

FD is totally reliable - of particular importance is the phone service you get. I have found it is answered immediately and most importantly, by someone who speaks perfect English and in this country which when it is money-matters, is essential imo. I have been with FD since the late 90s and have never had anything but excellent help and service. Highly recommend FD online banking.
