Card benefits

Pay less interest on your balance

With the Virgin Credit Card, your monthly repayments go towards paying off the balance with the highest rate of interest first, instead of the lowest rate. This means your higher rate balances are paid off earlier, and you pay less interest overall.

So, you can use your Virgin Credit Card for everything from balance transfers to everyday spending, without worrying about whether you're getting the full benefit of your promotional rates – you always will be.

Contactless payments

We've added a new feature to your card which lets you pay for items of £15 or less without having to key in your PIN. It's all about making purchases on your Virgin Credit Card as hassle-free as possible.

Why am I better off using contactless?

  • It's fast – hold your card close to the reader, wait for the beep or the green light and you're done.
  • It's secure – you're in control because your card never leaves your hand. For added security you'll occasionally be asked to enter your PIN. And just like chip & PIN transactions, you won't be liable for any fraudulent contactless transactions made with your card. *
  • It's handy – like having the exact cash you need, when you need it.

* If your card is lost or stolen you'll incur no liability for fraudulent use of your card provided you notify us as soon as you realise your card is missing or you notice any unusual transactions on your account.

How do I use contactless?

1. Tell the retailer you'd like to pay with your contactless Virgin Credit Card

2. Hold your card against the terminal

3. Wait a second or two until you see the green lights or hear a beep.

4. Off you go – if you need a receipt, just ask the retailer for one.

Where can I use it?

Contactless logo

Anywhere you see the contactless symbol (opposite) in the UK and worldwide*. The list of retailers offering contactless is growing all the time – shops, coffee bars, newsagents, and more.

Find your nearest contactless retailer on the MasterCard PayPass website.

But don't worry if you don't see the contactless symbol, you can still use your card in the normal way and sign or enter your PIN.

*Contactless Virgin Credit Cards are designed for use in most countries around the world. However there are a small number of contactless terminals in the United States which use a security mechanism not supported by MBNA. If you attempt a contactless payment at one of these terminals it will be declined, however you will still be able to perform a standard swipe transaction at these retailers.
