So what's the interest rate below 25k?

Also is that 1.56% on the whole amount if it's above 25k or only on the extra?

It's just wrong

From Facebook just now - 

Virgin Money UK 

We’re having a few issues with our mobile app and internet banking this morning. Sorry for any hassle this is causing.

Some customers are now able to sign in again so please keep trying. We’ll let you know as soon as we’re fully back up and running.

Santander & Atom also seem to be having issues.

Finally managed to access my VM online account, and the interest shown is... 1%

Perhaps, with all the online banking problems they're having today, the rate just hasn't been updated, yet?

No mention of Virgin Money, which is the only one affecting me. Perhaps The Mirror see this as being covered under Yorkshire Bank.

I had no problems with NatWest, Halifax or Santander.

Yes, Virgin Money is a trading name of Yorkshie Bank

We have been here before, but I believe that the hierarchy is as follow:

Parent: Virgin Money UK plc
Trading name: Virgin Money UK


Parent: Virgin Money UK plc
Subsidiary: Clydesdale Bank plc
Trading names: Yorkshire Bank, Clydesdale Bank

FWIW, according to Virgin Money's Twitter, Virgin Money is a trading name of Clydesdale Bank PLC.

Thanks for the correction - so VM are not in fact covered by YB in the Mirror article.
