Ratings and reviews

Atrocious design and functionality. First of all, the application doesn't function unless you grant location permission? Why? Great question, would love an answer on that. Secondly, the application itself doesn't work. It took me nearly 5 minutes of restarting the application to finally get logged in. After that, the transfers I attempted to make failed due to errors. Completely unusable garbage, and with the location permissions, probably spyware. 0/10, probably moving my money to a real bank.

It's an ok banking app, but nothing special. Depositing cheques doesn't work and, in any event, is only available for low-value amounts (I prefer the Halifax app which works every time and for much greater sums). Switching between savings and current accounts is easy on Virgin app, but the interest rates offered cease to make it much of a benefit. Overall it's underwhelming.

Simple to use and I've not run into any major bugs yet, but functionality is rather limited compared to the apps from my other banks. Particular gripes: it doesn't show me the interest rates on my current account, and it won't show my Virgin Money ISA accounts at all. There is now a link to take you to Virgin's website if you want to manage savings or credit cards, but it's appalling you still can't access all your Virgin accounts in one app. Dropped to 2 stars.

What's new

Your banking just got a little bit brighter. We update the Virgin Money app regularly to bring you the best experience. With this release we've fixed a few bugs, and also made a couple more tweaks and service improvements.

We've made it even easier to approve transactions when making a purchase in a retailer's app.
