Yes that's the standard rate, however if you switch to them currently you get a 3% bonus that takes it to 5.02% for a year plus £100 experience vouchers. That's the new switch package.

Virgin Savings

The 1% is great but I need to be careful because of adding together £1000 in each current account, the amounts in Home Buyer regular savers, and from 1 March the amounts in the linked savers might bring the total saved with one bank too high.  Remember Northern Rock.

As an aside the new switching interest rate of 5% is not available to existing customers.  Please read the T&C.

The 1% on the Virgin linked account on the first £25k is very welcome.

Especially so for anyone with 'a few' of the 2% C/A and consequently a few of these saver accounts.

Might suit anyone who needs to keep multiples of £25k liquid.

Bloomin heck.

Taken my eye off the ball recently but this morning resurrected my Atom app and opened Instant Saver @ 0.75% as marginally better home for my Coventry BS Limited Access cash. Change of address meant a phone call, which is slightly odd for an app only account, but hey ho, very quickly sorted.

Now there's a Virgin @ 1%. Just as well Coventry withdrawal isn't instant

I had the same problem rang them on 0333 399 050 I was advised to  go into settings switch off iCloud Drive delete app and start again as a new customer it then worked fine

Atom is so fast with payments and customer service great  to contact plus based in UK I may reduce my Marcus account down to £1 and put it in Atom.

I'd always stuck with Marcus because it was so fast with the transfers.  I don't know if Atom used to be this fast, but it is even quicker than my Marcus transfers.  Works great!
