Virgin 2-year fixed rate ISA

5
Earlier this year I filled in an application form for Virgin Money to transfer my ISA funds from another provider. Virgin Money were offering a more competitive rate for a 2-year fixed rate bond. An appointment was set up at a local branch, and I was helped by a very professional and helpful assistant. She helped me to fill in the forms, explaining each step, and couldn't have been more helpful. The funds were quickly transferred from the previous company, and the paperwork and fund certificate sent to me in the post. The whole process was made incredibly easy largely due to the assistant at Virgin, and I would recommend their service. A positive experience - and I am hoping that when the bond matures, Virgin will still be offering competitive rates. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Poor online experience, falling interest rates

3
As per other cash/online only ISAs, offered a fantastic rate which has eroded over the space of only 18 months. Apart from that, great communication and offering, one of my gripes was their online experience - no dedicated app to quickly view my balance, and a poor mobile experience.

Simple, straightforward cash ISA

5
I have held a cash ISA with Virgin Money for a couple of years now and I like the fact that it is such a simple and fuss free account to use. I chose a cashbook account as I like the fact that I have to physically go into the branch to take money out of my account but they also have an account which can be managed online. The process of opening the account was simple and straightforward. Interest rates on the account are variable but they offer a competitive rate compared to the other banks and building societies that I have looked at. The interest on the account is paid yearly and as the account is an easy access account there are no penalties for making withdrawals so your money isn't tied up and still available to you if you should need it.

Easy to open online

5
I opened this is a online to put some savings into, the full amount for the tax year. It took around 10 minutes to complete the online application. The money is now in there and it is safe and I don't need to think about it until their interest rate changes when I shall move it to somewhere else to keep earning the maximum interest possible. I have not had to use their customer service but their website is excellently laid out and easy to use. Reviewed on: 25th August 2015

Much Improved from Virgin

I opened a 1 Year Virgin Fixed Rate E-ISA Issue 109 online with Virgin Money. The account was very competitive and suited my needs exactly. The online application process was swift and easy to do. The account was set up straight away and with minimum fuss. I had reason shortly afterwards to ask a question of their support team, the call was answered quickly and the enquiry dealt with quickly and professionally. I have had problems in the past with other parts of the Virgin business and I had some early reservations about dealing with them again but I have to say, Virgin Money got it spot on and have greatly redeemed themselves. Please keep it up! Reviewed on: 13th August 2015

Easy, simple to use and fee free.

Great cash ISA with no hidden fees and a competitive rate. Online access to my account from where I can transfer money with ease. Reviewed on: 13th August 2015

Not great

3
I switched my ISA to Virgin money in March, so far i've been disappointed with the limited services, most notably the lack of a mobile banking app and also the requirement to phone them when i needed a password reset, rather than just doing it online. Furthermore, the ISA is restrictive, not allowing me to make additional deposits during the term. Overall, a bit disappointing, will be transferring at the end of the fixed period to a more technologically progressive bank. Reviewed on: 9th August 2015
