    Has anyone used Ford Money for easy access savings? We have a sizable lump sitting in Halifax and just realised we are only getting 0.2% interest on it. We need access to it for the house we are building so looking to move it somewhere else. We have 2 Santander accounts already so we are getting the 1.5%. Could open another joint one, but struggle with the direct debits as we also have other accounts that also need these. Looking at best easy access, and these are Icici - never heard of so do not want to use, then Tesco @ 1.26% with some of this on 1 year bonus or Ford money at 1.2% with no bonus which looks to me a better longer term plan until the rates start going up again.
    Thoughts please re are there other accounts I could look at?
    Thank you :)

    bubbs I used to sell these sausages they're lovely. When I sold my business Joe put his up for sale too and a local butchers Callaghan from Maghull. I'm not sure they are as nice as they used to be but they are still nice. If I was able I'd have gone to the shop for you and posted them in a cool box....maybe in the future.
