This account is far too basic for running my business. I’ve gone back to Mettle as with them I can categorise my transactions and ad photos of receipts which I can do none of with this Virgin business account. If you’re using it as a personal account to save then fair enough but I was led to believe this was a creditable alternative option for my business banking. Mettle is streets ahead in this regard.

    Virgin Money Forces Customer to Pay for Their Mistake

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. Read more Read less

I took out a Silver annual multi-trip policy with Virgin UK july 22nd. I fell at work august 4th, fractured my elbow and rang to update them of my medical status shortly after the injury. I was advised to cancel my policy because they could no longer insure me for my said medical condition! Despite no substantial result by discussing my only offered option of cancellation with 2 different operators; I then asked to speak with a manager. Admittingly my booked call-back came within the 2-3 days; but I remain baffled ,as to why; when I was effectively insured with them; they had no intentions of continuing to insure me or reassure me during my already traumatic event. The supervisor that rang me informed me that it was a clause on page 14 of my policy that covered THEM against failing to provide me with further cover. I was refunded pro-rata, which meant they returned my money, MINUS a sum which took me up until the end of july. I asked that ALL my money be refunded since the policy was effectively nul and void and had no benefit to my security of possible cancellation of trip due to injury. The manager explained that she was personally unable to approve full refund , but would try to get the remaining money by raising my request as a complaint. That was in excess of 2 weeks ago. I won't hold my breath. Read more Read less
