Twice ( and now I’m on holiday ) my card has been blocked , access to the website blocked and not once a text or a warning. And we think a cashless society is the way to go. Not with Virgin it isn’t. I’m was escorted to a money change to change currency to pay a bill. And now no one can be reached as it’s out of hours. Brilliant service!!! B Reviewed on: 28th May 2024

Exceptional experience with Virgin Money

5
I applied for a Virgin Money credit card about a year ago, and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire process. The application was straightforward, and I received acceptance quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. The efficiency of the process demonstrated Virgin Money's commitment to customer satisfaction. Moreover, the customer support was outstanding. Whenever I had queries or needed assistance, the support team was prompt, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Virgin Money provided relevant products tailored to my needs. I was offered an installment plan, which has been incredibly convenient for managing my finances. Additionally, they continuously provide new offers that add value and flexibility to my financial planning. Overall, my experience with Virgin Money has been exceptional. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

A reputed company.

A reputed company. I've few of their products and all their customer service is always excellent. Thought their products can get sometimes expensive. I've lost my card few times and got it straight away. Someone tried to use it and it was blocked. Thank god for that. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024

Appalling company

1
Gave a wrong password by mistake on phone back in February. Virgin money have requested I post in ID and proof of address. I have done this twice. I also went in a Virgin money branch and they emailed it to them. They still say they haven't got it. Rude unhelpful staff. Had the phone put down a few times. They refuse to send statements but have taken large sums by direct debit. The only reason I care is that this account should be in credit due to a holiday refund. Despite complaints and numerous phone calls they are refusing to close the account and refund the money. Worst company I have ever dealt with. I am at a loss what to do next.

Applied for a credit card at the beginning of May which I needed for a family holiday for the end of the month. Even called in after I got accepted to clarify my situation and was guaranteed that card should be with me by then, as cards take 7-10 days to arrive. Waited patiently for the card since the 4th May, and yesterday (the 20th), was the 10th working day as well the day the card was meant to arrive. Still nothing came through. Decided to call the support number to get an update on my situation as I believed there could be a possible delay with the delivery or things of such and the operator blocked the card without my consent, although me telling her not to do so as I’d rather wait a day or two for possible delays and she told me that I will have to wait all over again for the new requested card. Had to cancel the holiday due to this. These people are not reliable and careless for customers needs. APPLY FOR A DIFFERENT CREDIT CARD IF YOU CAN. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Don't do it. Such a scam and the worst experience.

1
There is no process to gain access to your account once they "lock" you out. Not even the Customer Service Team has access. They are charging me fees that I cannot even view. This is an absolute scam, and I wish I had never opened an account with Virgin Money. I now have other accounts with AMEX and Monzo, the experience with them is incomparably better. Please don't put yourself through it. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Issues travelling with travel credit card

1
Very disappointing customer service and process in place for international travellers. I took out the travel credit card for the purpose of travel and currently in country with another month of travel pending. I have accidentally input my pin wrong and they have blocked the card. I am required to go to an ATM and use the pin services except that feature is not available for international cards in the country in Asia that I am in. I have explained this to over 6 customer service reps over the phone at the help centre and they are all clearly reading off a script and not grasping the fact that this not feasible and cannot offer any solution. Surely if they are going to offer travel credit cards to customers they need alternative process in place to offer card security but be able to remove pin blocks when travelling as this can leave people in difficult situations not able to access money and apple pay is not always widely accepted depending where you are so you can not rely on that for all transactions. I have had to use google, online forums and tik tok to find solutions as the virgin customer service team cannot offer any human empathy that this is a real life situation that needs resolve.
