Let’s get into the details:

Peace of Mind

Our Fixed Cash ISA offers the peace of mind of a fixed interest rate in return for locking your money away for a set amount of time, such as 1, 2, or 3 years (known as a term).

Your right to cancel

If you decide this product isn’t for you, you can cancel within the first 14 calendar days from the date your first deposit shows in your account.

If exercise your right to cancel, you can open a another Cash ISA with us or a different savings provider, up to your annual allowance for the tax year.

Interest

From the day we receive your initial deposit, your Fixed Cash ISA will earn interest daily, based on the balance at the end of each day. This is calculated as 1/365^th of the yearly rate.

Transfers from existing Cash ISAs usually take 15 business days to show in your account.

Interest can be paid yearly or monthly and can be paid into:

This Fixed Cash ISA
Any other Ford Money savings account you have (subject to its Terms and Conditions)
Your Connected Bank Account

Transfers

You can ask to transfer current or previous ISA savings into your Ford Money Flexible Cash ISA during the application process. Or, if you already have a Cash ISA with us you can download a transfer form below.

Transfers must be completed within 21 calendar days of the date we receive your application.

A Cash ISA transfer form is available as a downloadable PDF here.

A Stock and Shares ISA transfer form is available as a downloadable PDF here.

End of the Fixed Term – ‘Maturity’

We’ll be in touch around 30 days before your Fixed Cash ISA approaches the end of the fixed term via letter and email. We’ll explain what options you have available and what actions you need to take.

You’ll normally have the option to:

Withdraw your savings,
Re-invest in another Ford Money Fixed Cash ISA,
Re-invest in a different Ford Money product,
Create any combination of the above.

You will have until 48 hours before your Fixed Cash ISA reaches the end of the fixed term to select your preferred option(s). If we don’t hear from you by then we’ll offer you another term of the same or similar length, and this will start automatically at the end of the fixed term.

Of course, we’ll tell you about this and you’ll have a 14 calendar day Right to Cancel.

Early withdrawals

A Fixed Cash ISA is designed to be held for the entire term. If you choose to close the account or transfer out of it before the fixed term is over, it will be subject to a term breakage charge (unless you’re within your 14 day cancellation period).

If the account is closed outside of your cancellation period, you won’t be able to re-open it or put money in another Cash ISA with us (or any other savings provider) in the same tax year.

The term breakage charge is taken off the closing balance we pay you. It will be equal to a fixed number of days’ gross interest on the amount you withdraw, at the rate your account is earning.

To work out your term breakage charge, find the relevant account term below, note the amount of days’ interest that will be charged and multiply this by your current interest rate.

Term Charge Period

1 Year 90 days
2 Years 180 days
3 Years 270 days

If you withdraw from your Cash ISA after the 14 day cooling off period, you may get less back than you originally deposited.

There are only three situations where we don’t apply a term breakage charge for cashing-in early:

after a Fixed Cash ISA account holder dies,
if we make any change to this agreement that is to your disadvantage,
if HMRC does not consider Fixed Cash ISA to be an ISA.
