Wonga only does usurious loans, the others do other stuff too

Taking a pragmantic view, VirginMoney and the rest have other interests that may not be haram - pensions, insurance etc. They may even be into Islamic Finance - Barclays certainly are.

Obviously its a fine distinction and on a strict dogmatic view then VirginMoney etc are probably also brands that in an ideal world that he wouldn't want to wear, but I suppose it's a bit harder to be pragmatic about it when it's the likes of Wonga.

Good on him.
