Maybe they feel insulted by the Skipton 7.5% member only reg saver and shake it up and go above?Bridlington1 said:This has appeared on the FD website:
It's been a while since First Direct upped their regular saver rate to 7% (November 2022 if my memory serves me well). I wonder if they could be about to do something intriguing in the near future.1 -

Fd feeling insulted by Skipton is like Real Madrid noticing a 3rd division team in Norway. Hilarious imagining Fd management having an emergency briefing because of the 7.5% offer from a building societypecunianonolet said:

First Direct did increase the rate from 3.5% to 7% for existing account holders on 1 Dec 2022. This despite the rate being fixed for 12 months. They said it was to help with the cost of living.ForumUser7 said:Hoping they apply it to existing accounts again! Actually, did first direct do that too or was it just HSBC?
