US persons: contact them so the right FATCA declaration form can be sent

Ford Money states plainly that a US citizen in the UK can apply, which few providers do, provided you make a FATCA declaration and give a taxpayer identification number. It asks non-UK tax residents to contact it so the right declaration form can be sent, so expect one step more than the usual tick box. The US taxes the interest as ordinary income.

Cash ISAs

Compare with other providers
Opens

Ford Money opens a cash ISA to anyone 18 or over who is a UK resident taxpayer with a National Insurance number, with no sole-tax-residency test and no US-person exclusion. Its terms documents were not reachable directly, so this rests on its own FAQ and summary boxes. The IRS still taxes the interest as US income, as the wrapper gives no US relief.

Account names link to the provider's own site. momo has no active affiliate partnerships; if that changes it will be disclosed and will never change a verdict. Every institution, A to Z.

Confirm your own position with a cross-border specialist. Acceptance policies and tax rules change, and your facts may differ from the general case. Rates and terms here are the provider's published figures rather than an offer, and the provider decides each application on its own criteria. Use this as a map, not a ruling. Last checked .
Tax

FATCA

FATCA makes UK banks report accounts held by US persons to the IRS. It is not a tax; it is a reporting trail. Where it bites is access.

 Tax

FBAR

If your foreign accounts top $10,000 combined at any point in the year, you file an FBAR. What counts, when it is due, and what happens if you miss it.

 Tax

ISA US tax

The IRS does not recognise the ISA wrapper. Cash ISA interest and stocks ISA gains are taxable on your US return, and fund holdings drag in PFIC rules.
