Review of the Virgin Money, Credit cards:

Excellent services.

No delay, no unnecessary questions. I like them. Jaroslav Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

Beware - designed to nudge you onto the full interest rate

I made one payment 24 hours late so Virgin Money charged me full interest from that point on - suddenly I was paying 22.9% interest instead of 0%. Of course they don't communicate this with you so you find out several months later after parting with £100s of pounds in interest. My fault for paying late, you might say - well I had a direct debit setup which they had inexplicably cancelled. Beware of joining, you may end up being 'nudged' onto the full interest rate. Reviewed on: 5th May 2022

I was in the Stockton branch, cancelling a direct debit and it was very busy, but got dealt with quickly and efficiently and overall was an excellent experience.

I'm not a lover of doing things like this, I'd rather do everything online but I had to go in the bank to sort out the problem and glad I did, as it's made me think, why be bothered about dealing with things publicly. The young gentleman who served me couldn't of been more polite and efficient, actually put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. Problem solving 10/10 and very quick. Cannot recommend this branch anymore highly. Reviewed on: 5th May 2022

Sub standard app

Initially the app is slow to load. Thereafter, at least every 2 weeks, the app fails to load requiring me to to uninstall and reinstall. A bad move to discontinue the Web site Reviewed on: 30th April 2022

Great

Good credit card, but app is confusing Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

They Think Out of the Box!

When I came to the UK, I had no credit history here. Applied for some credit cards and all were rejected apart from Virgin. They called and verified/asked about my income channels and were pleased to issue me a card. I still have the card (2011) and happily use it. I was subsequently given and used other cards by other lenders but soon cancelled them all albeit my Virgin card. Thank you Virgin Money, you have left an impression and experience I will never forget. The card has a great App and is secure with convenient features. Reviewed on: 10th March 2022

They suck

Customer service is an alien concept. They've removed online access to card balances from all of their customers and introduced a new app. that doesn't work. Dreadful. Avoid. Reviewed on: 21st February 2022

Virgin Money? Give me back my Yorkshire Bank!

Yorkshire Bank customer for over 40 years. Virgin Money customer service is poor. Now I've been forced to use a smart phone app which does not display correctly on my phone, has clearly not been UAT tested correctly and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Virgin Money credit card is crap. Reviewed on: 18th February 2022

Excellent offers

Balance and money transfer offers are spot on new offers every couple of months never had a problem with them 10/10 Reviewed on: 15th February 2022

They fail to help customers who do not want to use their App

I was a very happy Yorkshire Bank customer for 40+ years. Since it was taken over by Virgin the whole ethos has changed to can't care less approach. 2 years ago when they tried to insist customers must use their app making me have to get a smart phone - it was a total failure and eventually they stopped insisting on using the App. Now they are ignoring the substantial minority who don't want to use mobile phone apps to manage accounts. It would be quite easy to continue with computer based on-line, where many users feel safer doing on-line transactions on a larger screen. They show no respect for non smart phone customers. Reviewed on: 14th February 2022

Appalling Customer Service

I have been experiencing some irregular charges on my virgin credit card. I was charged over £335 by DD including interest between 5th January and 6th February 2022. Just within one month!!! My balance is about £4500. I thought at least the balance should be decreasing and so I’ve been trying to reach customer service for the past two days for a better explanation. I was on the phone for almost an hour and it abruptly ended. When I try to call again, I was told that they were closed now and were only available between 8am to 6pm!!! It was 18:02 hrs. I was shocked. Now I want to see my balance going down and not shooting up because I’ve not used my card for almost a year. I’m trying to pay off the balance. And the App is not user friendly either.
