Virgin Money Investments chief executive officer Jonathan Byrne weighed in on the digital platform initiative, explaining:

In February 2022, Virgin Money partnered with Paylink Solution to enhance customer information provision on income and expenditure (I&E). At the time, Virgin Money described the scheme as part of a new digital affordability platform for customers who have fallen into arrears.

The platform also featured Credit Referencing Agency (CRA) integration for optional access to import other credit commitments. According to Virgin Money, these enhancements should give customers a holistic perspective of their financial situation.
