Looks like Virgin are thinking about doing a regular saver soon, but might be limited to customers who opened a current account before a certain date 

Any update on this?, Virgin haven't done any regulars for a long time if I remember rightly not since Clydesdale took over

The NI resident restriction seems to have gone:
“The account is available to existing Members and new customers resident in the UK, aged 18 or over.”

Same. They contacted me asking me which* banking institution I was using for the first payment, but I didn't make it pass the first page of the savings application form; which it's different to the register form where I had no issue.

Mine went through fine a few weeks back but IIRC when others have had this issue they've been able to just try again without waiting for them to contact you and pass the ID check, with best results being when you have a photo of your passport already which you can upload immediately.

If it's failing digi ID and you call, they'll ask you to start the application again and this time select 'no pic id'; then you will get to the next stage, rather than go in a circle...

So then follow instructions to register, set up password:

If you do this in advance it'll save doing it while they're on the phone when you ring.

So then when you call they'll ask you to email photo ID and selfie to an email addy they'll give for manual matching.

PS Apparently Chrome 'appears to work better than Edge..', but it didn't for me...:)

I did but it's a faff with the SalesForceAuthenticator though a nice chap in their offices talked me through it. Now waiting for a resolution to a problem with their systems not being able to verify my nominated linked account.
