If you're thinking about opening a Virgin Money savings account, here's a rundown of its latest interest rates, and how they hold up against the rest of the market right now. Virgin Money's top savings rate of 5.05% is available on one of its cash ISA accounts.
The best savings account depends on what you want from your savings. If you're after fast access to your money, then an easy-access account should suit you. However, if you're happy to lock your money away for a time to access a higher rate, then a fixed-rate bond is a good option.
Finally, if you're looking to maximise your returns and shield them from income tax, consider an ISA. Below, we've listed the different types of accounts Virgin Money offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.
