First Direct Woes
I have been a member with them since at least 2021. Until recently they have restricted my card from online transactions and froze my online and mobile banking so that I cannot make any modifications such as delete Direct Debits/Transfer Money. Anything I want to do like that, I have to phone them up which defeats the…

FD suggested opening an USD account with HSBC but I'd need to open a current…
