Using your Business Debit Card

The Virgin Money Business Debit Card is the perfect partner for your business. It allows you to withdraw cash and pay for goods and services at millions of locations worldwide, just look for the MasterCard® acceptance mark. Ideal for managing your daily business expenses.

If multiple people in your business need access to a Debit Card we've got it covered - up to 8 Debit Cards are available per business account.

Contactless payments

If your debit Mastercard is contactless, you can pay for items up to the contactless limit without having to enter your PIN. Just touch your card against the contactless card reader when you’re ready to pay. You’ll hear a beep and see a green light on the reader. You’ve paid.

Using contactless is just as safe as Chip and PIN. You have the same protection against fraud, and if you think you've been incorrectly charged, just let us know.

For extra security if you use contactless frequently or if you haven't used Chip and PIN in a while you may be asked to enter your PIN. If the card terminal has not been upgraded, a ‘card declined’ message will appear. In the event of receiving a declined message, you should attempt to pay using Chip and PIN rather than contactless.

Depositing cash and cheques

You can deposit cash and cheques up to the value of £2,000 per day at any Store deposit ATM using your Virgin Money Business Debit Card. The single transaction limit is £1,000, 25 cheques or 50 notes.

If you exceed these limits the deposit ATM will advise you that you have exceeded the daily transaction or deposit limit.

You can speak to any member of the team in our Stores who will show you how to use this service.

Business Debit Card Cashback

Debit Card Cashback is just one of the ways we're bringing brighter benefits to your business account.

How does it work?

  • Spend using your Debit Card with eligible retailers, and we’ll automatically add Cashback credit to your business current account each month (before the 15th of the month). Some exclusions do apply.
  • Each Debit Card will be automatically enrolled – you don’t need to do anything. If you want to opt out, contact us via Secure Chat on Business Internet Banking or call us on 0800 756 0800, between 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. You’ll need your Debit Card handy when you get in touch.

How much can I earn?

Mastercard® Identity Check™

We want you to be safe when you use your Virgin Money Business Debit Card online. That's why your card is protected by Mastercard® Identity Check™.

Mastercard Debit Cards use the latest chip and PIN technology to combat fraudsters. For online purchases performed within a Merchant’s App or on their website, Mastercard® Identity Check™ improves your security even more without the need to register or remember a password. Using either our Mobile Banking App or a one-time passcode sent to your registered business phone number, Identity Check lets you identify yourself as the holder of the card and stops anyone else using it online.

To make sure all online transactions performed within a Merchant’s App or on their website are secure, you may be asked to verify your identity when you use your Mastercard at a participating online retailer.

If you are registered for the Mobile Banking App, we will send a message to your App. You will need to accept this message before you can complete your transaction.

If you have a business mobile on record (and do not have the Mobile Banking App) then we will send you a six-digit one-time passcode for you to enter on screen at the retailer’s checkout.

Make sure we have your current business mobile (call us on 0800 345 7365 or visit us in Store if you’re not certain).

If you do not have either then please be aware that your transaction may be declined.

Mastercard Identity Check works with most internet browsers and merchant apps, but software that prevents pop-up windows may interfere with your use of Identity Check.
