Virgin Money Essential Current Account reviews (141)

always friendly,helpful and efficient staff.

I have an isa and a current account with virgin,opened just over a year ago. Unlike other banks I don’t get hassled about my accounts . Information is sent on a regular basis but the customer is allowed to make their own choice having received very good advice. The staff are professional, helpful and efficient at all times. I can’t recommend virgin money highly enough!! Reviewed on: 19th December 2018

A fantastic business, with people at it's heart

Of course t's easy to bank online nowadays, and the Virgin Money site's great, but I love to visit my Haymarket London branch - full of really kind, friendly and knowledgeable staff, involved in honest and principled business dealings, all shown off in stylish décor with a lovely coffee! Can't think how banking gets any better! Reviewed on: 17th December 2018

One of the best current accounts for interest

Love all Virgin Money products and their spectacular lounges! Well done! Reviewed on: 15th December 2018

Easy bank to work with

No hidden charges . Friendly staff Reviewed on: 15th December 2018

Excellent Current Account

I've been with Vigin for about 2 years and I find their current account serves all my needs with none of those silly charges you get at other banks. Well Done Virgin Money Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

Brilliant first class service with the human touch!

Regularly visit the Kendal branch - Each and everyone of the staff absolutely brilliant and no stuffiness or looks like the big banks. There to help and actually human - don't feel like you are being judged - no humming when they access your account or signs that you are in the naughty chair/corner! Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

VIRGINASTIC

Great offers and promotional interbrand deals. Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

Nice and easy

Love this bank. Everything is so easy Reviewed on: 14th December 2018

Works for me

I've used these for years and have always had good service. They realised before I did that my card had been hacked. I got all money taken back with days and extra security. My only criticism is they do more internet banking. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Essential Current Account

I have been with Virgin Money for over three years and from opening the account to the present day I have received excellent service. I can not fault them! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
