    Read in the press that Ford Money are launching 2 regular saving online products tomorrow 22/5/17 with a 4% interest rate. One is a regular saver account for 12 months maximum contribution £250/month and the other is a regular saver cash ISA with similar raters. This is a welcome upward change in regular saving products and is likely to be subscribed to quickly.

    And the new Ford Money Regular Saver is now unavailable having been available earlier today after its launch.

    Excess demand presumably ?

    It wouldn't surprise me if their IT are performing a fix such that only one per customer can be opened as per the T&Cs and that the product will then be (re)launched.

    Fixed the typo for you.

    I suspect they may have reached the target number of accounts and don't want any more deposits, or else need some time to catch up with the vast number of applications such a popular account has generated.

    The T&C's make it clear this is an issue based product, so if this one has sold out we can probably expect another issue to be released in due course.

    Ford Money have said: "At present we are unable to say for certain if this product will be available again."

    Ford have now removed their Regular Savers pages from their website altogether. Looks like they won't be offering them again for a while (if ever)?

    From today Nationwide seem to have revised their regular saving offering to halve the monthly contribution level (£500 to £250/month):
