Once you have downloaded and logged into the app, you can choose to link it up with any First Direct account, be it a current account, savings account, credit, etc. The app will show you your balance and transactions, allowing you to look at each of your payments. The app then offers a list of other features that can be used for general everyday banking, which is helpful when you can access such a comprehensive range of actions on a mobile app.
The First Direct app makes payments easy to understand and simple to set up. You can view and delete all of your direct debits in the app and set up new payments and transfers. You can also amend your existing standing orders, set up new ones, and easily move money around your First Direct accounts. The app also utilizes Paym, a service that allows customers to make easy and fast payments to a mobile number. Recent and pending transactions are updated quickly in the app, which is excellent for staying on top of personal finances. In addition to these services, you can also apply for further First Direct accounts in the app, so you don’t need to switch to a web browser to make your application.
