Comments on first direct for Android

★★★★☆ John Higgins · Mar 6, 2026
Issues using debit card at supermarkets and foreign currency exchange shops in uk. But works fine for cash withdrawals in uk.
★★★★★ Stephe Court · Apr 22, 2026
I would like to transfer my current account from the Halifax Bank to the First Direct Bank please as soon as possible, I believe you transfer all my direct debits on the same dates as I'm used to! And likewise with my direct credits!. Warmest Regards, Stephen Court. By the way my photo ID and proof of my address will follow.
★★★★☆ Tim Goodwin · Apr 18, 2026
App reports biometrics not available, but if phone is restarted biometrics work. Other apps work fine. App needs to give correct message. Suspect caused by app update
★★★★★ John Christopher Tonks · May 13, 2026
First Direct are a very reliable, user-friendly bank. I have banked with them since 2001. No problems. I would highly recommend.
★☆☆☆☆ Dolly Bird · Apr 28, 2026
Paying in checks on this app are a joke. It will not accept checks sent to you from business' which are always bigger than those from your personal check book. Constant errors about size etc. I mean there must be literally nobody that sends personal checks from their little old check book any more which means this part of the app never, and I mean NEVER works. I've spent ages on multiple occasions trying to get this bl**dy thing to work, to no avail
★★☆☆☆ David M · Jan 27, 2026
it's a really basic app. You can't create PDF files from transactions. You can't copy your account details. Out of all my bank accounts this app is way behind the others. The AI bot is pretty horrific too. The only reason I stay with FD is the contact center. They answer quickly and are very helpful with issues. It should just he is a reskinned version of the HSBC app. Which looks more functional.
★☆☆☆☆ Graham Cliff · May 8, 2026
Poorly developed banking app which is utterly basic and displays as its headline figure, your balance before pending so what you think you have in your account isn't what you really have in it. I switched from Halifax and from a mobile app perspective it's like going back to the Stone Age. Avoid if you like a modern user-friendly interface.
