Virgin Money
Introduction
For Virgin Money, being a good partner means putting your needs at the heart of their decisions and recognising what’s important to you – their products, pricing and service.
They understand that choice is important. That’s why they offer a wide range of products and features. And Virgin Money know that some mortgage products may be more suited to the intermediary channel. They know it’s frustrating when lenders offer a better deal to direct customers. So they won’t favour direct business over the intermediary channel.
They are committed to providing great service to their mortgage intermediaries. Virgin Money want to deliver a faster, more efficient and more personal service to you. It may take time, but they won’t rest until they get there.
And don’t forget, you have access to a field BDM and a telephone BDM meaning you can get the right support when you need it.
