Thank you for the Virgin Money saver info. Opened and funded. My husband even opened a current account to get the saver

The M Plus current account, then apply for the regular savings account

Does anybody knows if they will withdraw the virgin RS if it gets too popular to soon.

I (an existing VM customer) had this opened and funded in 10 minutes. My partner has decided it would be a good thing to have and has applied for a current account.

First current account application in 40 years, no credit card held for 30, no mortgage for 20.

Virgin have gone away to think about it.

The regular savers linked to current accounts don’t seem to get withdrawn like the good ‘open to all’ building society regular savers but who knows! I guess having to open a new current account might put people off unless you’re an MSE forumite with a penchant for multiple bank accounts 😆

Well l switched my virgin account  to another provider for the switch bribe, l mean offer. I have just opened another virgin account  a hour ago. So l hope it doesn't  get pulled.

I also previously switched out of VM as their regular savers / savings products got non-competive. 

So, needed to apply for a current account first. Said yes to the question "Do you have an existing current account with us?" which allowed me to use my stored login details. Requested a joint account. That bit went well.

Two regular savers just applied for, but encountered "technical difficulties" and accounts won't be available until in the morning... Still, better than being blocked at the current account application stage!

Virgin RS
When I saw an unusual amount of new posts this morning I realised that VM launched their promised RS before reading anything.  My guess was it will be something like 6% or probably less.  I've never expected 10.38% and the rate to be fixed. And it came on the date when BoE reduced base rate and a lot of providers were quick to announce reductions for their EAs.  
Opening the account was easy. Didn't find the option opening in the app, did it online. Very quick and it appeared on the app straight away.

Probably best to open sooner rather than later. While it’s 12 months, the maturity is 31/07/25. So might as well eek every day you can from it.
