When is a bank not a bank?
When it's a coffee shop, cinema and general hang out spot. Well that is what virgin money are striving for.
The new boys on the plot have taken a different approach to the world of personal banking in addition to the standard bank services that are offered they have taken visiting the bank to a whole new level.
Attached to the bank is a members lounge where any bank customer can visit with a guest if they desire. They have WiFi, ipads, iMacs, coffee machines, a cinema and even a mini library all be it filled with Richard Branson's books.
The staff are amazing and treat the whole thing as an experience for the customer rather than just banking.
It is worth opening an account with virgin just to get access to their lounges let alone the banking services which so far have been great too. read more
