“I'm quite stunned to have read those reviews criticising the methods of opening a savings account with you”
I'm quite stunned to have read those reviews criticising the methods of opening a savings account with you.
The only important thing to do is READ the instructions thoroughly. They are a step by step way of trouble free application. They tell you that you have to link the account with the main account that you use. The sort code, account number and reference number are provided in the second letter. If the procedure is closely followed it's really easy. A contact number is also provided with the set up details.
I appreciate the fact that some people find forms etc really difficult to understand,
so I feel the only addition to the service that I would add would be to make a help line available for potential customers to be helped through the sign up. It might even improve the take-up because of the ‘help line'.
“FORD MONEY aka FCE BANK, online 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”
FORD MONEY aka FCE BANK, online 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!
