User Reviews

Reviews show a generally capable app for basic account management and responsive support, but persistent issues hinder reliability. The top recurring problems are lack of a dark mode, frequent crashes, login/access and device compatibility problems (including overseas use), delayed or missing notifications, and onboarding/verification friction. Positive mentions highlight ease of use and helpful staff. Overall, the app needs stability upgrades, accessibility improvements, and modern theming to meet user expectations.
Pros
  • Easy to use for basic banking tasks.
  • Helpful customer support/staff responsiveness.
  • Cheque scanning feature can be handy when it works.
  • Solid core account management capabilities.
  • Generally functional for everyday banking when not facing issues.
Cons
  • No dark mode or dark-themed UI; very bright at night.
  • Frequent crashes and overall instability impacting usage.
  • Login/access issues and device compatibility problems (overseas usage, new devices, welcome screen loops).
  • Delays or absence of transaction notifications and pending updates.
  • Onboarding/identity verification friction (face recognition issues and repeated document scans).

First Direct suspended my account. I had no access to my money. The reason? They wanted me to call them to let them know where to send the 14p interest they owed me. I had no access to my money over 14p thay they owed me. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
