As part of acquisition of Virgin Money by Clydesdale Bank, Virgin Money now operates under the Clydesdale Bank PLC banking licence, trading as "Virgin Money". This resulted in the separate OBIE registrations moving to one, under "Clydesdale Bank PLC".
All B, Clydesdale and Yorkshire accounts have been rebranded to Virgin Money now and can be accessed via 2 sets of APIs: Virgin Money (Merged APIs) for current, savings and currency accounts with a sort code starting 05 or 82; and Virgin Money Credit Card (Standalone APIs) for credit card accounts and current and savings accounts with a sort code starting 08.
For a comprehensive list of products and account types available under each set of APIs, refer to the Accounts List document found at Virgin Money Open Banking Available Accounts v3.3
The Merged and the Stand-alone APIs both have Virgin Money endpoints, each with a different logos to help customers distinguish between them:
Merged API -' Virgin Money'
The Virgin Money Merged APIS are our 'go to' API and currently support all previously branded CB, YB and B products. These products have sort codes starting with '82' or '05' and a 10 digit numeric customer number.
Stand-Alone API - 'Virgin Money Credit Cards'
The Virgin Money Standalone APIs should be used for credit cards and the small number of current and savings products launched prior to Dec 2019. The current and savings accounts have sort codes starting 05 and a 7 digit alphanumeric customer number. When users click to consent against this endpoint they will be taken to a landing page to select which product they have. Current and savings account customers will also be prompted to ensure they have selected the correct 'Virgin Money' connection and if not guided to go back to TPP screen to reselect.
