Horrible customer service

1
This is the nasty bank that is trying to be as rude as possible Reviewed on: 19th November 2022

Absolutely shocking service.

1
Had to make two claims 6 weeks ago and still nothing back. No responses, claim portal does not work, way over on the promised claim response periods and zero communications from a complaint I made regarding the service despite the automated response giving a timescales for a response. Don’t waste your money using Virgin Travel Insurance. Nothing but wasted time, incredibly poor service and zero communication. Still waiting despite having to email my claim because their claim por... Reviewed on: 13th September 2022

The worst insurance company on the market

1
This is the worst insurance company I have come across, I have been a customer for over 10 years paid every year, last year I changed the insurance cover from a personal to a family insurance, my insurance runs from March to March each year. I have now just been away on holiday in August and became ill and also had my wedding ring stolen, I called Virgin to make a claim and they informed me my policy ran out a week before I went away and said that they had sent out a renewal let...

Easy to set up

5
I didn’t need to claim on the policy but I found the set up easy to understand and the policy was priced competitively. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Highly recommend

Highly recommend virgin money for travel insurance. Have used them for several trips. Simple to fill in details and great prices Reviewed on: 14th August 2022

Cannot make a claim

1
I cannot register via the website to make a lost baggage claim. It just rejects my details. Tried calling the number: rings twice and hangs up. Tried emailing: no reply. DO NOT USE THESE COWBOYS HIDING BEHIIND THE VIRGIN BRAND. PATHETIC! Reviewed on: 27th June 2022

Bunch of bankers

1
Absolute rubbish service. staff rude very off-hand . Do not offer Internet banking as I have the wrong type of current account. Do they not understand there is a global pandemic. People need to be able to pay bills and access their account not just view it!! Absolute bunch of BANKERS! Reviewed on: 24th October 2021

Ridiculous way of logging in

1
To log in to find out your policy number, you have to already know your policy number. Completely inane and useless way of operating. Nobody would ever dream of ever viewing their travel insurance until they needed something from it and yet the only thing anyone would ever need to know from it is necessary to have before accessing it. Any sort of sensible procedure at all would allow people to log in with their email or something, outwith the very information people only ever at... Reviewed on: 19th October 2021

Shocking

The poor reviews are entirely accurate. Read them. I wish I had. Better to keep your cash under the bed Reviewed on: 29th January 2021

In my 40 years of banking Virgin Money sets a new low!

1
I’ll keep this simple. Open an account at your own peril. Read reviews and the media .. be warned .. this has to be the worst bank in the UK! Reviewed on: 21st January 2021
