I set up a savings account with First Defence Finance about two months ago. I wanted an easy way to save and this comes straight from my pay so it's perfect. By Summer 2022 I will be able to pay for me and my wife to travel to India to see friends and I cannot wait!

I was struggling really badly with managing my debts. I was meeting all my monthly repayments but I was getting confused with four Direct Debits all coming out at different times of the month and sometimes I didn't dare spend anything on my card. One of my mates from the barracks told me they had a car loan with First Defence [Finance] so I decided to open an account. I applied to join online then a few days later I applied for the loan. My loan was approved and all four of my creditors were paid within 3 days. I feel so relieved and now I have ONE monthly payment which comes right from my wages. My bank account is so much easier to manage now!

I was able to afford a car that I would never normally get. The money for repayments is handled through my payslip so no stress.

I needed to consolidate some debt. With the help of First Defence Finance, I pulled it all together which allowed me to go debt free within 6 months on a single monthly payment. I then was able to buy a new family car as I had additional income available.

A huge weight has been lifted knowing that not only was my debt was being repaid quicker, but it was from source, a large amount of the uncertainty had been taken care of. The ability to save alongside separately for those annual bills added to the sense of security helping me to work my finances out properly now and for the future.

I was stuck with multiple loans, which I was paying high interest rates for. I was able to consolidate all my loans and credit cards and pay them off with the help of First Defence Finance which saved me thousands of pounds in interest repayments.
