First Direct Chat

I don’t see the harm, I keep a good balance and I did say I’d probably never need it, literally asked for only £250.

I like it just in case I forget to transfer and would top it up as soon as from my main account. Overall I;ve honestly been much more impressed elsewhere.

What have I just watched.

That feels like it was created by a bunch of people who think they understand what younger people like but in reality, don’t have a clue.

It was the sort of advert that would lose you the task on The Apprentice.

Probably worse than a lot of the tasks on The Apprentice, and those candidates aren’t paid and only have a few hours to create their idea.

Feels like First Direct is just pulling random things out of a hat and seeing what sticks with its brand identity at the moment. It is all over the place.

My thoughts while watching, really in bad taste.

It’s not embedded into the forum here but can click through to view it on Instagram directly.

Went something like this about agreement in principle for a mortgage.

Awful.

It’s really cringe.

It’s definitely not been thought up by a millennial/gen z-er, it’s been thought up by someone who’s been explained what a millennial/gen z-er is down the phone.

Sort of.

This is how a lot of TikToks are made, deliberately “budget quality” so in a way it’s on trend. But also I agree with you. Cringe.

Agree with this. It’s really not clear where they’re going with their branding.

Just watched it on IG. Lol :joy: by the looks of that bedroom made add, they must have run out of money after doing all the switching offers. Is that sweat patches under his/her/they/them/nonconforming arms?

Interestingly HSBC worked just fine so whatever the issue was it must’ve been a specific to FD one. Normally, when one goes down so does the other

FD fine here.

First Direct are useless and hate the banking app. So basic and boring
