First Direct doubling interest rate on its Regular Saver Account to 7% this week

First Direct is increasing its savings rates from Thursday as the battle to attract customers this December continues. As part of the changes, the bank is doubling the interest rate on its Regular Saver Account from 3.5% to 7%.

People can pay in any sum between £25 and £250 per month and if regular payments are less than £250 a month, savers can pay in more during later months, up to a total of £3,000.
Customers will receive a lump sum at the end of the 12 month period. The rate jump on the account means that people can potentially make up to £81.25 in interest on the account if they have the 5% interest rate for the full 12 month period, compared to up to £16.25 at the 1% rate over 12 months.
Tom Wolfenden, HSBC UK's head of retail, explained: "The rate is fixed for the year from the time of opening, however at this time to help with the increased cost of living and to support

The valentine hearts at the front hold the whole look together, both literally and figuratively.The barely-there dress would have been eye-catching on its own, but upped the ante with a full-throttle makeup look.
