Application process

You need to be aged 16 or over to open a Ford Money account. To open an ISA, you’ll also need to be a UK taxpayer with a National Insurance number

Applying online takes approx. 10 minutes assuming you have all the information you need to hand.

Note that you can open an account with us over the phone by calling us on 0345 266 1231 but be aware that this process will take approx. 20-30 minutes, so applying online is always the quickest and most efficient option to take.

Once you’ve chosen your product on our website click on the Apply Now button. You’ll first be taken to a pre-application screen that provides important information on what you need to know before commencing, so please ensure you read through it carefully.

Here you’ll also have the opportunity to watch a handy video that guides you through each step of the application, so you can see what to expect.

On-screen instructions will additionally provide clear guidance through the application process as you proceed.

Note that there are some additional considerations and requirements relating to applying for a joint account.

If you are an existing customer who is taking out an additional product with us, you can benefit from our Fast Track process, which will enable you to apply in less than 2 minutes.

Once you’ve opened your account you’ll need to make your initial deposit within 14 calendar days from the date we receive your application. Unfortunately, if we don’t receive funds in this time we’ll need to close your account and you’ll have to reapply.
