    Hmmm to open or not open.
    Last thing I want is thinking it's going alright but when it mature they don't pay out the interest

  • I have the first Virgin Coach, and opened and funded a second one (Issue 3) Yesterday.
    Maybe there will be another along in 2 months time like the usual Virgin RS pattern.
    Retired 1st July 2021.
    This is not investment advice.

    I have 2 Virgin Coaches funded and in pending state. Message says they are working on opening them and it can take up to 5 business days. So it sounds as if some manual checks are being carried out.

    At the end of the day they will just downgrade one of the accounts, or close one of them, or close both. But given how lax they are about the app I would be surprised if the rule was enforced.

    Yes. But none here have seen an Issue 1.

    Every 2 months, that would be nice!
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    If the one you have matures on 20 December 2021, it is issue 2.

    I can’t find any KPI document for issue 1 so I’m assuming VM just can’t count, but it was pointed out on this thread in November about the missing issue 1:
