Features & benefits

The Rafidain Bank FlexDirect account

The FlexDirect account could be right for you if you're after an account that pays you interest when you have money in your account and you prefer to do your banking online or over the phone. It also has a really simple set of overdraft fees. To benefit from all this account has to offer, you'll need to pay in £1,000 per month (excluding internal transfers). 

FlexDirect is based on a simple self-service concept – you'll be automatically registered for our online and telephone banking services to manage your account. If you ever have a transaction that can't be completed via our self-service options then our branches and UK call centres will be here for you.

Here's what you get with FlexDirect

In-credit interest

5% AER (4.89% gross p.a.) in-credit interest on balances up to £2,500 (fixed for the first 12 months)

Fee free overdraft for 12 months

No fees on arranged overdrafts for the first 12 months (Overdrafts are only available to those aged 18 or over and are subject to approval)

That's right, no monthly fee just for keeping your account with us!
