Some of the most recent questions relating to MBNA and Virgin have included the following :-

MBNA And Virgin

The reason that credit card customers are asking these types of questions related to MBNA and Virgin Money, are that these cardholders know that the credit card companies do not allow balance transfers between credit cards that are issued by the same company.

Virgin Money credit cards are now promoted by Virgin Money. However in the recent past, all of the cards themselves were actually issued by MBNA Bank Europe. As a result, this meant that balance transfers were not allowed between MBNA and Virgin Money credit cards.

Today, Virgin Money issue a number of credit cards themselves. However, some e.g. the Virgin Atlantic credit cards were still issued by MBNA until as recently as November 2017.

Further complicating matters is the fact that Virgin Money took on many of the past Virgin/MBNA customers but not all of them.

As a result, unless you have read the small print of your credit card agreement and are certain who issues your current MBNA/Virgin credit card. It can often be safer to assume that transferring between MBNA and Virgin Money may lead to potential problems, and your balance transfer could be refused.

All of the following featured credit cards will however accept a balance transfer from both MBNA and from Virgin Money credit cards :-
