First Trust Bank...

Does anyone here bank with First Trust Bank? If so what is your experience of them? Any good?

Thanx

  • On-line banking is very basic and to set up new payees you have to use a number taken from a list which they will provide on a little card if you request it. This is their version of the Santander OTP or Barclays PinSentry.

    Branches - not as many as there used to be, and hours aren't great - lunchtime closing, for example, and no Saturday opening.

    Staff generally seem friendly, though some of them do a lot of selling of other products, which I find irritating. Expect queues.

    Was there a particular product you were looking at? I've not seen them advertise anything that is market-leading.
