    To save you 5 minutes, yes you need a current account.
  • @sahb8091
    Thanks for this. It took me less than 10 minutes to not only setup a current account with them, which you need and can get at no monthly charge, but also setup the savings account and made my first payment into it. We need these type of accounts just to keep up with inflation, but they’re a really good way to get more for your money and have a forced saving. It’s a limit of £250/month for 12 months and means you can expect to have about £160 in interest at the end.
  • You are a legend Andy! Thx 👍🏻😄 Just got this set up.
  • @disneyrm1037
    Thank you for this!! I opened both a VM current account to then open this Regular Saver account & threw the £250 straight into it. Appreciate your help so much. Keep fighting the good fight 👍🏼
  • @tinaclark9678
    Opened this regular saver account and also applied for their 0% credit card. Will be stoozing with the two 😃

    My saving strategy is simple, max out on every bonus rate these banks introduce. I'm currently earning 5.5% at Nationwide, 7% at Santander, 5.1% at Chase (easy access), 12% at Virgin Money (Switch Bonus), 10% also at Virgin Money (Regular Saver), 5.05% also at Virgin Money (fixed ISA) Inflation busting average rates, totally happy with how I'm set up for the next 12 months.
  • @jackworth2981
    Absolutely NOT worth it. This is the just way to attract customers. Input is very very limited. Interest that is above standard 5% BoE is funded from new customer acquisition budget. You only have 11 months left. Above standard interest bearing, additional 5% annual you wiII gain you extra £137. That is your new customer acquisition cost. NOT WORTH THE HUSSLE. RUBBISH. And clickbait. Thumb down.
  • @AndyK.1
    How many hoops are there to jump through? Just a VM current account it seams
  • Thanks, done, the regular account came with a savings account as well me being able to open the 10% savings. Plan is next year take the £166 interest, look round at doing a bank switch and getting another little bit. I also have a Lloyds savings paying %6.25 but I can pay in £400 a month.
  • @Milk-vw1cv
    So essentially, you could treat this like a fixed saver, in terms of the pay off at the end, with the benefits being you can pay into it monthly and you still have access to the money
  • @dave597
    Never liked these regular savers they just do it to advertise a high interest rate, but have low deposit limits.
  • Biggest catch....hard credit check involved if you don't hold a virgin money current account......
  • @Patrick_Xu
    Why not put your money in an instant access account and set up a standing order to this regular saver
  • @AG-so4gl
    How is this good when the ceiling is 1k a year. I get 4.1% with a digital Bank up to max 1 million, now thats good
  • @janak_h
    What is the equivalent rate for a whole year?
  • Set this up this morning - thanks for timely flag. Not big money but already have a current account with V for other deals so might as well. Free money good to min-max. £167.57 interest if you maximise I think 🤔
