FlexAccount travel insurance is no longer available to new members. There are a couple of things you need to do to make sure your FlexAccount travel insurance continues year on year – it’s worth checking these before you claim.

Your travel insurance will continue as long as you:

• keep your FlexAccount open and pay in at least £750 a month (excluding transfers from another Nationwide account held by you or anyone else)
• remain a UK resident
• are 69 or younger.

If you’re 70 or older, you'll need to buy an age upgrade each year to keep your travel insurance going. It’s easy to do – just call 0800 051 01 54.

Alternatively, you can manage your FlexAccount travel insurance policy online using the U K Insurance travel insurance portal (opens in a new window). To register with and access the portal, you'll need your FlexAccount current account details. For joint account holders, you'll need to register separately and use the address and personal data on your FlexAccount current account when registering.

For all claims, whether emergency or not, please first notify U K Insurance Limited† of the claim by calling 0800 051 01 54 (available Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and Saturday, 9am to 2pm). If you have two policies, let both insurers know at the same time of the claim.

In the event of illness or accident abroad (where costs are likely to be greater than £500) or in any other emergency situation (such as the loss of a passport), please call us immediately on:

• 01413 49 01 09 (UK)
• +44 1413 49 01 09 (abroad)

Please state that you’re a Nationwide FlexAccount customer.

Our emergency assistance provides 24-hour European emergency travel cover. This includes medical assistance and personal travel referral services for Nationwide FlexAccount holders travelling outside the UK. Nationwide FlexAccount travel insurance is provided by UK Insurance Limited†, so they will be looking after your claim for you.

An experienced co-ordinator in the UK will help with your enquiry. Most of our co-ordinators are multilingual, so they can talk to the doctors and hospital staff abroad. They’ll make sure:

• hospitals are contacted and necessary fees are guaranteed
• medical advisers are consulted about your return journey to the UK
• where medically necessary, assistance is provided when you reach the UK.

You may also call the assistance services for information relating to emergency health matters when travelling abroad.

The 24-hour assistance service and claims for travel medical assistance are handled by U K Insurance Limited†.

Call us as soon as possible on:

• 0800 051 01 64 (available Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and Saturday, 9am to 2pm)

You can also manage non-emergency claims logged from 22 March 2021, and make new non-emergency claims, online using the U K Insurance travel insurance portal (opens in a new window).
