Virgin, with over 2.5 million customers already, will bring its expertise and product range to the comparison website. Both brands offer similar assurances on great value and better deals, all while offering customers a quick and easy user experience.

Virgin Money combines cover to suit individual budgets along with bundles of optional extras for a competitive deal, and will double-check at renewal point that the deal is still the right one. This applies to both car and home insurance products available through Virgin Money on comparethemarket.com.

This customer-friendly approach to the best deal and great service is completely in line with comparethemarket.com. The comparison website is a modern phenomenon. When it launched in 2007 it was receiving 50,000 hits a month. It's now in excess of 2 million, with more and more customers returning every day for the best possible deal on the market for their insurance needs.

"Virgin Money is a great brand," says comparethemarket.com Commercial Director, Jeremy Moll. "We pride ourselves on bringing our customers insurance providers who offer truly beneficial products that meet their insurance needs. Our site is all about quality, complete transparency, and allowing consumers to make the right choice for them. "

Kieran Hartigan said: "Virgin Money is pleased to offer our recently launched Car and Home insurance through comparethemarket.com.

"Virgin Money are delighted to be working with a panel of underwriters to provide the best price and cover. The partnership with comparethemarket.com is a great fit, helping to ensure customers receive the most appropriate quote based on their particular needs."
