Also it says max balance is £3,000 so is it an account month rather than calendar month for contributions?

It says 'anniversary' month, so no shifting of the payment to earlier in the calendar month

Have these Ford accounts been widely advertised in the mainstream? Didn't Tesco only have a problem once they'd been on Martins TV show. I doubt (hope) that too many people, other than us on here, know about the launch on Monday.

Fingers crossed their IT can cope!?

Mentioned in just about every financial page and HUKD as well as here so I expect them to have a few web problems tomorrow.

Hopefully we will be opening 2 of each.

hi all, I have a couple of Santander 123 current accounts and just opened a regular saver just now but it's only showing 2.5%. My last one was 5%...I thought this would be the same. Am I incorrect? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a feeling it defaults to 2.5% until the system has verified you are a 123 world customer and then it updates to 5%. At least that is what it appeared to do when I applied for one. Maybe leave things for a day or two and check again?

This happened to me and I ended up ringing them for it to be corrected.
You can try Secure message but they take 2-3 days to answer and usually just refer to someone else and don't sort it as quickly as by phone.

Can anyone say whether they have successfully opened & funded Ford Money account recently using Chrome?

Thank you Eachpenny and Nationwide8 !

Badger I opened a flexible saver using chrome last night. I got my customer ID this morning.

I have logged into the account using safari and chrome without any issue this morning.

I called them this morning for a query...they are super friendly!

Likewise. Easiest and quickest setup I have ever done. Online access, Phone access and account all up and running in about 20 mins.

Ditto for the application process.
