freedom to pay of mortgage as quick as you like
Awful fussy online banking. Difficult to see how much 'real' money available and what savings you have at a glance. Tries too hard to be clever. I just want to see a bank statement!
The The Virgin One Account provides wonderful freedom to manage your mortgage in a way that suits your own personal circumstances. Every penny of the money that you have in your account at any time works for you and is a great incentive to save. However, the online banking spoils this. It is difficult to access your account and even once accessed you are presented with a mindfield of charts and graphs that require far too much effort to interpret how much money you have. After a year I am now moving mortgage provider as I just can't tolerate this awful system anymore. As well as a good value mortgage I also want simple clear records of the total amount of savings and 'real' money available to me. The Virgin One Account just tries too hard and fails to achieve this.
