To help you create a secure password for your Virgin Money Online Account we’ve given you a few simple rules and tips to follow for your added security.
Your password:
Your password:
- Must be at least eight characters long with a maximum of 16 characters
- Must have at least one number and one letter
- Can’t have three of the same characters in a row, e.g. aaa or 333
- Can’t have three consecutive characters, e.g. 123, def
- Can’t be the same as your User ID
- Should use special characters, e.g. $, +,?. It’ll make it even more secure
- Can’t be the same as your previous passwords
- Don’t create a password that’s easy to guess. Avoid using your name, date of birth, email address, etc
- Do create a password that only you can easily remember but will be meaningless to anyone else. Choose a phrase or a combination of words that makes the password easier to remember, e.g. cmp/w@le30ds = change my password at least every 30 days
- Do create a password longer than the minimum required. It’s safer to use 12 characters instead of the minimum 8
- Don’t use single words that can be found in a dictionary

It’s important to remember that you can only transfer money back to your Nominated Linked Account and not to any other bank account.
Generally, we’ll transfer your money to your linked account on the day of your withdrawal request, if we receive it before 4pm Sydney time on a business day. Any requests outside this time will be processed on the next business day.
And just a word on fees, although we don’t charge any fees whatsoever to your Virgin Saver, unfortunately, we don’t have any control over other financial institutions, their fees and charges or any government legislation or controls that may create costs on your transactions.
To view your monthly statement, you’ll need to set up your online account as Virgin Saver statements are only available within your Virgin Money Online Account.

If you close your account, your online access will be closed at the same time and your last statement will be mailed to you in the following month.
