    I reckon quite a few people will transit to these accounts from their existing providers, despite the total amount of interest payable not being enough for a holiday to Cortina.

    Granada would be cheaper.

    That S-Max of sarcasm.

    Obviously you are a bit of a Maverick, and would prefer to go Freestyle.

    Would you not like to be on the Sierra, with a warm Zephyr in your face, looking up at Orion? Or do you prefer Corsair?

    I said on the other thread the other day that I wish I could invest in Consuls rather than these tyresome regular savings accounts :(

    Who's going to want an ISA which lets you put only £3,000 of the £20,000 allowance into it?

    End of year top-up, perhaps?

    This is being discussed elsewhere - Ford have other ISA's and funds can be transferred between them. The top-up funds can go into another Ford cash ISA and then be slid across at the end of the RS term.

    Not showing online yet, or on their front screen but on another thread a link was posted...

    Looks like it works like Santander with the anniversary months, so this will stop you having 13 payments, You can save up to £250 and make multiple deposits in your anniversary month.

    Looks like they use Barclays as a clearing bank as the sort code is 20 XXXX.

    Not much more to share other then, if like myself you have some maturing regular savers and dont know what to do with the money, reinvest it back into a 4% product and drip feed from a 3% (this is my plan)

    Ford Regular Saver,

    Ford Regular Saver Cash ISA

    The landing page for the Regular Saver is at https://www.fordmoney.co.uk/savings-products/regular-saver

    Did anyone else think the restrictions on the memorable name/place fields were ridiculous?
