CYBG acquisition of Virgin Money

I’d like to be paid in those. I hear you don’t have to pay any tax on them :yum:

B is joining forces with Virgin Money. Soon you’ll get all the best bits of a cutting-edge digital bank together with an innovative customer champion. It’s the ideal combination of ambition and charisma, innovation and experience. Some might say it’s the perfect bank balance.

Well they certainly sorted the issue of a current account that wasn’t really working out quickly.

Will be interesting to see if and how B is phased out for the Virgin Money brand.

Interestingly Yorkshire and Clydesdale Banks have recently both phased out their own–brand free current accounts in favour of B, so this’ll be the main account for Virgin, even if it’s rebranded. My money’s still on ‘V’.

The flipping chicken alone was one of the reasons I left. It was all too much :sweat_smile:

That and the slow app load times…

Tbh Monzo has recently been the worst for me.

Strange as for me it couldn’t be any quicker tbh.

Lately they’ve improved but it’s still quite bad. Not sure what’s causing the difference - are you using it as your main account? Could be due to the number of transactions.

Yeah I am have been for a number of months. Had the account over a year now.
I split transactions between Monzo and Amex.

I quite like the flippin’ chicken. Takes a little while to flip into the account but I can cope with that for the £250 they gave me to switch to them. Quite like B, but I do like Monzo more.

I left Clydesdale bank cause they were useless I opened an account asked for card took them 5 weeks they said I’ll have a cheque book never saw one and they said I’ll get statements never happened so I said close it so I did and went to the Halifax before bank of Scotland took them on and destroyed them. I like virgin money except the lack of online banking far superior than Clydesdale bank

Think they are moving virgin customers over to the Clydesdale bank systems at a small rate so that there isn’t another tsb fiasco

Usain bolt not in virgin media adverts anymore?

Some of them, yes. RB in others.

I think it was more the influence of Halifax people in HBOS that bought about their problems.

Just an update to report the flipping chicken is now gone!
It’s been replaced by a purple pulsating ring around the B logo :hushed:

Anything but the ******** chicken :flushed:

Is the answer “chlorinated”?

Why do people hate on the chlorinated chicken so much? It feels like another of those things British people hate just because someone said you should hate it.

It’s not evil, it’s not bad for you, it’s not a problem but god forbid it makes it here.
