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. Note that Virgin Money is now part of Nationwide. Virgin Money's top savings rate of 4.16% is available on one of its cash ISA accounts.
What is Virgin Money's best savings account with the highest interest rate?
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.

First things first, you need to work out what you’re looking for in a savings account. How often will you want to take money out? Can you afford to stash away large amounts?
If you’re happy to lock away your funds for a year or more and you have a lump sum to invest, a fixed rate bond could be suitable. But if you need access to your money or you want to add to your savings over time, an easy access account might be better.
Once you’ve worked out your financial situation, it’s useful to look at:
Interest rates
Fees (if there are any)
Access to cash (if you need quick access, for instance)
