Approval with Virgin Money was simple and effortless. Since signing up, they've always kept us up to date with updates and changes so we trust the communications they send. Adding to this, there are decent perks through Virgin which come as a nice surprise when making the inevitable mortgage payments.
One you get the hang of the product linked to the high interest savings account then it’s effortless.
It is an average product. It does offer free travel insurance and a $129 flight voucher each year, but you have to call them to arrange the voucher which is a bit dodgy on their part. It's like they want you to forget (which I have). You pay for it in the annual fee though.
First account I had that offered a round up option. Rewards are a nice bonus.
Such bad (or lack) of customer service. Cant get through to anyone on the phone after numerous waits between 30-45 minutes. Opted for their 'convenient' SMS service which was also plagued with delays and terse responses. Not helpful at all. Finally got a message my car had been authorised for repair, but no time frame given. Called the panel beater direct for timing, only to be told car was being written off and shipped offsite the next day, so had to be there at opening the next morning to get my belongings from car. Got charged excess, because they didnt bother to investigate claim - I had 3rd party witness that I was stationary when vehicle ran into back of me. Also no refund on remaining months of policy, Saved a few bucks initially with the policy, but feel like I need therapy after going through their claims process - left me very unsatisfied frustrated.
Just a clear robbery. They initially accepted to cover the cost of the leaking after the quotes provided by their trustees (not mine), but then they called after 3 weeks and said because the cost is more than $25 k we need to reassess. They refused to pay after the reassessment and brought up some items from their policy that based on that they can refuse to cover the cost for any leaking. They actually can use this for any issues to not paying customers THEY DON’T cover any leaking at all!!!
