Virgin Money to close 30 branches across the UK – here's the full list of affected sites

Virgin Money says that 28 of the 30 customer stores closing are located less than a third of a mile away from the nearest post office. Of the other two stores, one is 0.7 miles away from a post office, while the other is 2.7 miles away from an alternative Virgin Money store. We've asked Virgin Money how far the second branch is from a post office too and we'll update this story when we know more. 

Customers of Virgin Money can deposit and withdraw funds from any of the Post Office's 11,500 branches. These post office branches also allow customers to check their balance and pay cheques into their account. Use the Post Office's branch finder tool to locate your nearest.

You can also choose to bank online with Virgin Money. If you're unsure about online banking, or new to the process, you can seek support via Virgin Money's help page.

Virgin Money says it will write to customers about the closures, providing details of the alternative ways customers can continue to manage their accounts, including the nearest alternative branches, ATMs and post office counters. It will also put posters in each affected branch, at least 12 weeks before it closes. 

If you no longer want to stay with Virgin Money, you might want to consider switching to a bank that does have a branch nearby – although bear in mind there's no guarantee it won't also close in future. You could also benefit from the following switching offers: 

• Free £100 to switch to Nationwide, or boost it to £125 if you're an existing customer (or with a little effort) – plus a year's 0% overdraft, and get 2% interest on up to £1,500 in the first year.
  
  
• Free £130 for new and existing customers who switch to Santander – plus 1% to 3% cashback on household bills for a £2/month fee.
