initial deposit

I have an appointment tomorrow to open a Virgin savings account, that doesn't require you to have a current account with them.

Can anyone confirm how making an initial deposit into the account would work in this scenario? I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere online, and want to be sure I have everything I need for the appointment.

Thanks!

    I opened a regular saver in branch with them recently, it does not require a current account. I made my initial deposit in cash. I am sure there are plenty of other methods of making your first deposit. If you call the branch you have an appointment at they will help you.

    I've opened a few regular saves in branch and you don't need to make any deposit at the time. I paid in by bank transfer later in the day once I had the account no. etc.
