Contact First Direct by calling the number above to get customer support with First Direct banking. Midland Bank formed First Direct as a telephone bank in 1989. HSBC then acquired it in 1992, and First Direct is still a part of HSBC today. It was one of the first UK banking services to offer text message banking and then internet banking in the late 1990s. The bank is sponsoring the Leeds Arena, which is named after it.
