Virgin Money Current Account

keiran

I havn't been tempted to open a Virgin account for many many weeks as I was sure the 2% would be cut to nothing ( as with every other bank account)
But it hasn't.... 
But if I do now open one, I bet they will announce a drop and the whole procedure wouldn't have been worth it....

And you have missed out on 4 months interest for each account

I finally got my Virgin Current Account unfrozen a couple of weeks ago after waiting over three months.  They gave me £50 for the hassle, so probably worth it in the end!

Did they give you an explanation? Touch wood I never had any trouble opening my accounts I thought it might have been because I had banked at Yorkshire Bank for awhile

They just said the identification documents I uploaded went missing or never arrived.  Apparently its not an uncommon occurrence.  The reason it took so long to resolve was obviously the coronavirus thing.

I hold 3 - and interest is paid on all 3 fine.

This is the only account I didn't open, fearing the interest rate would drop to zero....
and all the others have whilst  Virgin remains at 2% 
Talk of backing the wrong horse!

You can hold 3 of the Virgin Money current accounts? - Each paying the 2% on £1,000 ?

Why, how many do you think you can hold?
