What we do
We're the people-powered bank
The bank that does things differently. The bank that never closes. The bank with real people answering the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We're the bank that changed what being a bank means - we're not over there, on the high street, we're right here, on your mobile or laptop. We're first direct. We love what we do. We love coming to work every day - even Christmas Days and New Year's Days. Even Mondays - oh yes... And it's all for our customers.
We're the pioneers of easy banking
While we're famous for our phone service, there's much more to first direct than that. We launched our PC Banking service in 1997, we were Text Message Banking in 1999, and Internet Banking in 2000. We were the first UK bank with a Twitter account. See that curve? We try to stay ahead of it... Because we know that our love for banking is quite unusual, so that's what our customers get.
Our customers love us
(And we love them too...) We win more awards for our service than any other UK bank. But what makes them special is that so many of them are voted for by the people that matter - our customers. This makes us very happy indeed. It means we're mostly getting things right.
