What you need
Steps
Open the Virgin Money app on your phone and log in with your usual credentials. Make sure you are connected to the internet before you start.
Tap the Payments section in the app menu. This is where you manage transfers and regular payments.
Choose the Direct Debit option to start a new direct debit setup.
Enter the details of the company or service you want to pay, such as a utility provider or subscription. Check the name matches your bill exactly.
Set the payment amount and how often it should be taken, for example monthly.
Review the details on the confirmation screen and check the amount, frequency and company name are correct.
Authorise the setup with your PIN or biometric verification when prompted.
Wait for the confirmation message. The direct debit is now active and payments will be taken automatically on the chosen date.
Tips and common mistakes
Check the first payment date so you do not miss a bill while the direct debit is being set up.
Keep enough money in your account on the collection date to avoid a failed payment fee.
You can usually cancel or change a direct debit later in the same Payments section of the app.
Questions
Do I need the company's details to set up a direct debit?
Yes. You need the company name and the payment details they gave you, plus the amount and frequency. Have your latest bill or sign-up email open when you start.
How long does a Virgin Money direct debit take to become active?
The app confirms the setup straight away, but the first collection usually happens on the date you chose or the company's next billing date. Check your first statement to confirm it went through.
Can I cancel a direct debit in the app?
You can normally manage or cancel direct debits from the Payments section of the Virgin Money app. Also tell the company if you cancel, so they stop sending bills under that arrangement.
