Virgin Money welcomes Royal arrival George, and Georges everywhere

To mark the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby boy, George Alexander Louis, Virgin Money is giving away Virgin Young Saver Accounts loaded with £25, and WWF Animal Adoption kits, to the first 1,000 Georges aged under 16 who open an account in-Store.
 
Peter Rogerson, Head of Savings and Mortgages at Virgin Money said: "A new Royal arrival is always an uplifting experience for the nation and to mark the birth we are offering the first 1,000 Georges a Virgin Young Saver Account loaded with £25 as well as a WWF subscription.
 
"It is of course a bit of fun to mark the birth but has a serious message at its heart. Having savings for your children will help them get off to a great start when they fly the nest and start to live their lives independently.
 
"It's vital that you start early so that the savings will accumulate and your children will have enough money to make choices about things like education, taking a gap year or starting their careers. It is never too early to start saving for your child's financial future."
 
Virgin Money has partnered with the WWF, the world's leading independent conservation organisation, in 2013 to help bring money and savings to life for children and is offering a one-year WWF Animal Adoption subscription with each Virgin Young Saver Account opened.
 
The Virgin Young Saver Issue 2 pays interest of 2.00% gross pa/ AER, and is available through Virgin Money Stores, or by post, to customers aged under 16. Accounts can be opened with just £1, and provide instant access to savings. More information on the Virgin Young Saver Account is available through Virgin Money Stores or at uk.virginmoney.com/savings.
