Clydesdale Bank has joined forces with Virgin Money to become a bigger, better and brighter Business bank. We're currently working hard to give our Business Current Account a Virgin Money makeover. If you apply today, it's likely that you'll receive a Virgin Money branded account by the time your application has been processed. There won't be any changes to the account features, it will be exactly what you signed up for but with the new Virgin Money brand.
