Virtual Bank eMoney Market Referral Bonus Update

There seems to be some delays for people receiving the Refer-a-Friend bonuses. I've contacted VirtualBank and was told that the bonuses should have been credited to your accounts 3 to 4 days after the new eMoney Market account was opened. When I opened my account last year, this was about the time that I was credited. However, several people have reported to me that they haven't received the bonuses. VirtualBank didn't say why there are these delays. I had thought it might be due to the upgrade of their new referral system. It may also be due to the surge of the new accounts after VirtualBank raised the eMoney Market APY from 3.55% to 4.60%.

If you haven't received your $20 referral bonus from VirtualBank within 4 days after your new eMoney Market account was opened, provide VirtualBank my name using the bank's secure message system. I was told they will then manually credit the accounts for the bonuses. My name was included in the official email you received from VirtualBank. If you no longer have that email, just send me a request at bankdeals@gmail.com. Sorry about the delay.
