How long will this deal run?
The First Direct website currently doesn’t give an end date to this promotion. We expect this to be available for a little while at least.
Who it’s for?
This is a great deal if you can take full advantage of it. Provided you can pay in at least £1000 a month, you’ll not have to pay the £10 account fee, and you’ll receive the free £100 sign up bonus. The 5% on your savings is also a strong incentive if you think you’ll be in a position to do that. If you value excellent customer service, there are few better high-street banks at the moment.
