You can use the "close account" form in your VM online banking settings to close your linked savings account. The form refers to using it to close your current account, but I've used it to close a lone savings account that was orphaned after a switch away from VM last year without any issues. Otherwise call/write to them I guess.

Is there an equivalent on the app that anyone has found?

Sorry for the poor quality photos (the app doesn't let you take screenshots). On the Android app at least, under your profile on the top right of the main page where your accounts are listed, here is a section to close an account, hidden away under "account profile and settings" which looks to take you to the same account closure form I mentioned earlier.

Praisethesun, thank you for the screenshots. 

I use the app and didn’t know you could re-order the accounts on screen. Useful info. 👍

When did Clydesdale takeover Virgin Money?

To why I want to close it, two reasons.
Personal preference, I close accounts that I'm not using, can always get a another one later. I'd rather be given the choice to opening a savings account.

I think you would have to ask Virgin, surely you knew you would get a linked savings account when you opened the current account?.

I did know, but don't call me Shirley.

I'll call you Hill if that's ok?

That's wrong.

The saver account were added, without choice, some time after the current accounts.

It was a Virgin business decision - not a customer one.

Interesting. I had to apply to add the Saver to my M Plus current account that was originally a (pre NAB/Clydesdale) Yorkshire Bank current account.

Does that Virgin Money form work for VM savings accounts?  The form itself is titled "Close your current account"

Yes, the form can be used to close your linked M Plus savings account. Haven't tried it for other types of savings but I'd be surprised if it didn't work
