Investing made extra (now closed)

Customers who hold or open a Virgin Money Stocks and Shares ISA and invest £5,000 or more online by debit card top up or transfer between 1 July 2024 and 30 September 2024, and open a 1 Year Fixed Rate E-Bond Exclusive (the “savings account”) may be eligible for a bonus payment at the maturity of the savings account provided they meet the terms of the offer.

The 1 Year Fixed Rate E-Bond Exclusive will apply a one-off bonus of 2% AER¹ /Gross² P.A. on qualifying savings at the maturity date. That's in addition to the fixed rate of interest on your savings account.

Qualifying savings are the amount in your savings account equivalent to what you’ve paid into your Stocks and Shares ISA online, by top up or transfer between 1 July and 30 September 2024. As long as that amount is £5,000 or more.

The bonus will be worked out on a monthly pro-rata basis if you open your savings account before 30 September 2024 – to allow for any payments made to your ISA up to that date.

You’ll only receive a bonus if you keep your ISA money invested until the maturity date of the savings account. If you make any withdrawals between 1 July 2024 and the maturity date no bonus will be paid. You’ll still receive the 1 Year Fixed Rate of interest, which will be confirmed when you apply.

*Transfer applications must be made online and we must receive your payment by 30 September. Bear in mind when applying that transfers can take several weeks.
