How to connect your First Direct account using Fena

A First Direct link through Fena can be limited: some account types, regions, or products may not appear in every app. Check the app’s institution list, try another data connection if offered, and confirm with First Direct whether third-party access is allowed for your account. Treat Fena as a compatibility layer—when it matches your account it simplifies integrations; when it does not, another rail may be available.
