    Yes just to open the account.


    Opened the Virgin 3% Regular at Haymarket today and she said to close or withdraw from the account, I must visit the store.

    I cannot close or withdraw from the account by post.

    I’ve not opened the 3% one but all the other previous store versions which have matured I’ve closed by post except one in store (as was in anyway to open the next one). So unless they have changed the terms and conditions it could be you were given incorrect info.

    Are you particularly talking about this current 3% branch product or branch product in general ?.


    As mentioned by tg99 ypu could close the brach product by post by sending the close form and your passbook.


    I have done that in a few occasions.

    She's given you duff info - from the summary box on the website:-

    https://uk.virginmoney.com/savings/find/regular_saver_issue_12/overview/


    "You can have access to your money whenever you need it. To request a withdrawal simply send your written instructions to Savings Operations, Virgin Money, Jubilee House, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE3 4PL or you can take money out in the following ways:
    • Cash - Store** only.
    • Cheque - simply complete a Transaction Slip and a cheque will be sent promptly to your correspondence address.
    • Electronic transfer.
    • CHAPS.
    • Transfer to another Virgin Money account, subject to the terms and conditions of that account."
    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    Thanks everyone. I've already sent an email to the Haymarket store to let her know she's been giving out wrong info.

    Are postal withdrawals by cheque only or can they send it by FP/BACS to your current account?
  • Hi Everybody,

    There is nothing that I can find that has changed for this weekend's update. I will do another update the weekend after next.

    If you give your bank details you should receive funds by FP on day of maturity (well that is how it has always worked for me anyway.......though I’ve always sent my letter in a week or so before so they have a few days to set it up).

    In a word. No.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Once I get a few up and running I'm going to take a child like thrill passing my growing number of passbooks over the counter to be updated. I think I might even get as much fun out of this than the actual saving :)
