https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-12320481/Virgin-Money-closing-39-UK-branches-list.htmlworriednoob said:Thanks everyone. @Bridlington1 - The reason the switch failed was because I forgot that other than a Chase current account, I had also previously opened a savings account. I closed this and have managed to restart the process with Natwest, so all should be good now.
I've also received my Monzo card and have applied with Ulster Bank, which as @MikeJXE replied on another thread is going to take a bit longer than the other banks. I'm still waiting for my Santander Debit Card to arrive which I will then try to switch to RBS.
@pridehappy - I've left all our accounts, including joint ones open and instead on @MikeJXE 's helpful advice, opened 3 burner current accounts (Chase, Monzo, Santander) for the switch. Although being honest, I find Virgin Money to be one of the worst for customer service, especially when you go to their branches.
If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.
