Bringing Nationwide and Virgin Money together
Find out how Nationwide and Virgin Money are coming together and how you can find any support you need.
Published on: 14 November 2025
In October 2024, Virgin Money and Nationwide Building Society became part of the same group.
Virgin Money is currently a separate entity from Nationwide. To bring the 2 businesses together, we’re transferring the business of Virgin Money over to Nationwide. As long as the Court approves the transfer, we expect this to happen on 2 April 2026.
We’re working to make the transfer as smooth and seamless as possible.
Nationwide accounts will not be impacted by the transfer. If you hold 1 or more Virgin Money accounts, we’ll contact you directly to explain the next steps.
Either way, the transfer won’t change your day-to-day banking, and you can continue to manage your account(s) in the same way as you do today.
As we bring the 2 businesses together after the transfer, we may make some changes. If a change impacts you, we’ll give you plenty of notice and explain what this means to you.
