Virgin Money's M Plus account and credit cards often impress with easy-to-use apps, good interest rates, and helpful staff. However, many find their travel insurance and credit card customer service frustratingly slow and unhelpful, with issues around fraud and claims causing real headaches. The Essential current account also divides opinion, with some praising it and others facing serious access problems.

Contact was made early May, now at the end of July and no response!! Definitely won’t be using Virgin again Read more Read less
Unprofessional behaviour by senior investigators
Till two weeks ago they were great, they blocked me from the app so couldn’t view statements, staff rather blame the customer than investigate why... Till two weeks ago they were great, they blocked me from the app so couldn’t view statements, staff rather blame the customer than investigate why this happened. My credit card is settle by DD but they changed the amount , again not bothering to investigate leave it to the customer to investigate. They then say sorry you’re unhappy with our services. Just done their job for them but they still haven’t resolved the issue and adjust the payment to correct the error . Even there CEO has left it’s no wonder the staff behave as they do Read more Read less
