  • Q. When will my bonus interest get applied on my Virgin Money Boost Saver?

    Your bonus interest will be activated on the first day of each month when the Monthly Criteria has been met in the previous month. Keep in mind, if you are making your 5 purchases to activate your bonus interest, your purchases will need to settle (that means not ‘pending’) in your account that month. If it’s still pending at the end of the month, the bonus interest won't be activated.
