    Hardly a big loss, I know some people have multiples but I value my sanity for 1k per pop.

    Are you saying people who hold multiple Virgin Money current account are insane? Or just that you would go insane if you had several of them?

    Sanity is an exaggeration, but I can understand the point being made.

    Some people have a high sense of morality, and to break any rules would make them extremely anxious.

    How is having multiple VM current accounts breaking any rules?🤷‍♀️

    My mistake. I thought it was and people were just chancing their luck.

    Bit of both - dealing with new VM (former CYBG) is not a great experience.
    Last time I did it, at least they were paying me £150 per pop.

    It's not a major issue of course but i don't like the way that Virgin Money is not recognized as Virgin Money in a lot of places and still called Yorkshire Bank. For example I just added my new virgin account on Paypal which is recognising it as a Yorkshire Bank account and I just had my switch letter through this morning from First Direct telling me they are processing my switch to Yorkshire Bank.  You'd of thought they have been Virgin Money for long enough now to be seen as their own entity.

    Virgin is a trading name of Yorkshire Bank.

    Not true, they are both trading names of Clydesdale Bank.
