Nuneaton's branch of Virgin Money to close next year

It's one of 31 locations to shut down in 2022.

The Nuneaton branch of Virgin money is closing permanently from 2pm on 11 January 2022.

The nearest branch will be located nearly ten miles away in Coventry City Centre, although customers can use use Post Offices for day‐to-day banking, including cash deposits and withdrawals, cheque deposits and balance enquiries, as well as coin exchange.

The company sites a growing move towards online banking and said the decision to close a store, "is based on a number of factors, including location, usage, proximity to alternative stores and lease arrangements."

Fergus Murphy, Group Customer Experience Director at Virgin Money said: “As our customers change the way they want to bank with us and conduct fewer transactions in-store, we must continue to evolve the role of our stores into places where we showcase our products and bring our digital services to life.”

Written notification will be sent to customers and posters will be displayed in each affected store at least 12 weeks before they close, providing details on the alternative ways customers can continue to manage their accounts, including nearest alternative stores, ATMs and Post Office counters.
