Review of the Ford Money, Savings:

Great rate!

I haven't had to experience their service channels such as telephone or online helpdesk yet but I am very happy with the monthly interest and the way they pass on the rate increases. Once set up it's easy to use if you like online banking. Initial sign up is a little faffy but ok Reviewed on: 21st July 2023

Very good

I've never had a problem with ford money, They are very competitive with their interest rates and always had my phone calls answered in good time and found them very helpful and friendly, I would definitely recommend Reviewed on: 28th September 2022

OVERCOMPLICATED INFORMATION

Software doesn't work. Telephoned Helpline and was given far too over-complicated instructions and information. At the end of it all Ford Money is going to use Pigeon Post to send me a code! The one star reviews are not fake - I know exactly what they mean! Reviewed on: 28th September 2022

Best place for your savings and great app and service 10/10

Forget most of the 1 star reviews - they look fake !! Ford money is great .. they are taking over from those dreadful banks that have not raised their savings rate in these hard times .25% versus Ford money at 1.55 % App is great, easy to use and you can always talk to someone if needed. Make the most of your savings . Reviewed on: 25th August 2022

Impossible

Opened account won't accept password so tried to create new, every suggested password was rejected, tried for an hour, will now close account as not for me. Reviewed on: 25th June 2022

Bots giving 1 stars

I Have noticed Ford Money being given 1 stars on every review site recently in huge numbers, these are 100% bots created by banks , banks have cut interest rates to 0.1 recently Ford are giving 1.4 ,the current crisis will bring hugd recession and they fear people moving thier money to a much better place to keep thier savings Reviewed on: 9th June 2020

cannot contact them at all AVOID

sign up is easy, then it all goes bad, on trying to make initial deposit via internet banking your bank checks fords details with Barclays, then returns error that the payee name and account number do not match (for ford money) and if you proceed it’s at your risk. Second red flag is you do not get a sort code and account number of your own, instead you pay into fords account with a reference number, so nothing like proper banking. Thirdly you cannot contact Ford at all, phones do not get answered, messages sent via their system do not get viewed. AVOID ! Reviewed on: 15th May 2020

AVOID

LOCKED OUT MY A/C FOR 2 WEEKS NOW TRIED PHONEING EVERY WORKING DAY HOLD ON FOR HOURS NO RESPONCE INTEREST USED UP ON TELEPHONE BILLS SENT THEM EMAIL REQUESTING CALL BACK 4 DAYS AGO NO RESPONCE TO DATE. Reviewed on: 15th May 2020

dreadful company

if you need to contact them by phone be prepared to put aside half a day they might answer your call or they might not the odds they will not tried for 3 days no answer be WARNED put your money elsewhere Reviewed on: 11th May 2020

Avoid!

Avoid! We opened a 1 year savings account so we could get a reasonable interest rate, knowing we would be withdrawing after the year using the money as a house deposit. We were told after the year our money would transfer to a regular access savings account. This was not the case, our money was reinvested for another year without notification or our consent and we were told we could not have access to our own funds so we can put a deposit down on a house. That’s theft, in laymen’s terms. We tried to withdraw 16 days after our fixed term came to an end and were informed that had we been 2 days earlier we could have done so without problem as there is a 14 day cooling off period before reinvestment. Another fact we weren’t made a aware of. The only way we could get OUR money was to write a letter and it would be released at their discretion. 3 weeks later we get a phone call saying that we were 5 days late requesting our money (not 2?) but that as a goodwill gesture, they would let us have our money back!! A goodwill gesture? We had a few reminders that our fixed term was coming to an end but absolutely nothing to say that our money would be reinvested with no access to it. And we still have to wait several days before it is transferred. You cannot keep people’s money without their consent, simple. We should have gone to the police, let alone the ombudsman.
