That is all, over and out.

Ooh thank you!

Better return than Premium Bonds

I am going to keep bumping this until I get more takers....

Thank you, that’s more than 3 times better than my regular saver.

Great rate, but only available to those with a FD current account I think?

Oooh

Diary note made, I will be taking money from Premium Bonds to add to this, I know it is only a small amount you can save but as I am not achieving 1% with my 'winnings' every little helps.

Thank you op

Maximum input is £3.600 which would give you about £120 annual interest in one year, if you put that in as a lump sum.

ita about half that in practice as you feed it in every month.

its better than nothing though.

New customers switching their current account to First Direct can also benefit from a £150 bonus.

Those who just open an account, but not through the Current Account Switching Service (CASS), will receive £20.

Bump

Aha. I've been meaning to switch from the fecking awful HSBC for some time now and this might just be a good catalyst. (Assume they aren't still one and the same).

But why do you keep bumping this OP
What's the catch?

There is no catch, but anyone with tuppence halfpenny to save, has not been receiving a decent return.

So here I am promoting it, so no need for the scepticism.

Do you think you need to go to Fd and say Troy sent me and I will get a kick back ?

God some people are just perpetually miserable, sorry to have troubled you.

Bumping for OP so she doesn’t have to seem suspicious again. Account opens today can do it in app.

FD are great. No wait times to speak to someone.

Ah I was just looking for a new saver account, thanks OP
