Review of the Virgin Money, Cash ISA:

They had the best rate at the time

At the time I set up the account they had the best rate. Their service wasn’t remarkable in any way Reviewed on: 2nd April 2024

I used their flexible ISA because it offered a good interest rate plus I could withdraw largew amounts and replace later in the same tax year. This facility was invaluable during my recent house move transaction. Although the fixed rate has been reduced, it still offered a competitive rate. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2024

Virgin Money Forces Customer to Pay for Their Mistake

1
I opened a one-year fixed-term Cash ISA with Virgin Money in January, and initially, everything seemed fine. However, come October, Virgin Money abruptly demanded my NINo, with a warning: either provide it, or they would void my ISA or impose a two-month interest charge for transferring to another provider. Had they requested my NINo at the start—as they should have—I’d have been gladly provide it. Instead, halfway through the term, they invoked a 'legal requirement' and their right to void my ISA. This eroded my trust in the company, and when I looked into transferring out, their dismissive customer service left me no option but face the penalty. This issue arose due to their oversight—they accepted an ISA application without verifying NINo. Yet, they are now making me pay for their mistake. It’s appalling. Reviewed on: 11th October 2024

Sooooooo Sloooooow!

3 to 4 days to respond to messages whilst trying to transfer a considerable ISA to Virgin. I phoned to discuss and ask questions. The lady I spoke to was pretty vague with answers such as "maybe, possible and you could try". Terrible experience. Reviewed on: 7th June 2024

Setting up: Bad but Interest rate excellent

3
Getting an existing stocks and shares isa transferred to Virgin was a gruelling experience. The advisors provided wrong info or did not follow up on their duties. I lost over two months of interest because of the deficient service, and even tho an advisor told me Virgin would make up the shortfall - it didn’t. I had to make repeated phone calls and it was tiring and frustrating. But the final interest rate - was good! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great value for money, paid on time, easy transfer.
