Should you not wish to receive this Cashback benefit, you can opt out by contacting us:
- Via Secure Chat on Business Internet Banking, you can reach us 8am-8pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 2pm Saturday
- Call us on 0800 756 0800, between 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday

If we send you a new Debit Card it will automatically be registered for Cashback. You'll need to opt out again if you don't want your replacement Debit Card to be enrolled for Cashback.
Any additional cardholders linked to your business current account will earn Cashback (you can have up to 8 additional Debit Cards on your business current account). They'll need to be opted out individually if you do not wish to receive the Cashback benefits.
Not all Debit Card transactions are eligible for Cashback. Some exclusions do apply like payments which are then cancelled, reversed or refunded, transactions with gambling businesses, any tax related payments, payments made via a third party payment service provider and money transfers. We can change the list of exclusions from time to time, without notice. Business debit card list of exclusions.
This Cashback benefit is linked to your business current account and is a standalone programme. However, if eligible, you may receive other benefits from using your Debit Card as part of Virgin Money’s Mastercard Business Savings programme.
The Cashback will normally be credited to your business current account by the 15th of the month following spend, but sometimes it might be earlier or later.
Your new Debit Card(s) will be automatically enrolled for Cashback after your old one is cancelled. Any Cashback earned but not already paid on a lost card will be lost.
If you close your account and your Debit Card(s) is (are) cancelled, then you'll lose any Cashback earned but not already paid.
If we cancel your Debit Card(s) then you will lose any Cashback earned but not already paid.
We can withdraw this offer and/or change the terms relating to Cashback (including the rate paid, the exclusions and the cap) at any time. You may not receive notice of this and any unpaid Cashback may be lost.
