The Ford Money easy access account is open to everyone.  I know there was some speculation it might not be but it is.

It wasn't speculation - it was what they published. The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area - Page 836 — MoneySavingExpert Forum

But ATM it appears to be open to all the usuals and will be added into ToTP, as soon as.

Maybe they are keeping it available to test the water.... but will pull the plug as soon as the deluge starts.

After all, they have prior experience of being deluged with applications for very attractive interest rates.

There have been many times this year when Ford Money's Flexible Saver hasn't been available to new customers so it wouldn't be too surprising if that happens again fairly soon, especially as they indicated it would from today.

It's really slow but I've got there in the end.

Learned something new today. Re: Ford money 2.5% easy access tried and failed to open an account today, process would not recognise my nominated account, reason likely because I have already taken out the maximum today.

To get around this I could use an alternative current account. My question is when the Ford account is up and running can I amend the nominated bank details to my preferred account later?

Yes, there is an option to change your nominated bank account via their online banking site (not the app though by the looks of it).

Still slow for me I can't even put my login details in ( looks like it could be getting attacked)😒

I tried opening one of these today for my mother, and also couldn't get past the nominated account stage (the first time I have encountered this problem with any bank); tried another account of hers, but it still wouldn't accept, so I think the problem is with Ford Money, not you/us?

Ford Money

They do have a curious habit of adding a whole load of '0's to the start of stored 8-digit nominated account numbers - so it is quite plausible there is some kind of issue with their system not liking particular numbers, or being grumpy until the zeros-padding has been added by some kind of internal process?
