I still had to bring my identification which they photocopied and gave me back. They ask me for it every time!

I would love to be 'phoned by my branch in advance, but equally I would want them to check my I.D. everytime. Where money is concerned there should be no short-cuts taken re: verification of identity.

On opening my Virgin regular saver issue 15 today I was told that they had been instructed by the Commercial Department to inform people that they were considering restricting the number of regular savings issues that could be held simultaneously at some time in the future. Make of that what you will, although this was from the Branch Manager.

I was told when I opened the 3% one that I could only have one RS at a time

They reviewed my list of RS but I was not informed of any such limit.

I’d have pointed them to their KPIs which they present to you each time

Only one account can be opened per customer per issue.

I opened mine today, nothing was said about a future limit.

But we could guess that the Clydesdale/Virgin merger may at some point in the future restrict the regular saver availability.

It only becomes a problem when/if it happens though.

Thanks so much, I had also been under the impression I could only have one RS with Virgin at a time. After seeing your post I have made an appointment to open an issue 15. :money:

Some people (If not majority) active on this thread hold every single issue of VM RSA.

Do you currently hold other RSAs with Virgin Money from previous issues??
If so why did they let you open it to day ??

This was my first saver with Virgin, the paperwork was at home but my impression was that it was one per person at any one time

Just pulled this off their website
Only one account can be opened per customer per issue.


So you're nearly there except the "per issue" part - you can only open one "Issue 15 regular saver" but if you have a Issue 14, that's a different product, so you can have a 15 as well. And a 16 when/if they come out.
