Who is covered?

All FlexPlus current account holders, their partners and dependent children, so long as the person is aged under 70. For anyone aged 70 or over, you'll need to buy an age upgrade.

You're covered whether you travel together or independently.

Your partner is the person the account holder lives with at their home address. You should be in a relationship, whether married or living together, regardless of gender.

A dependent child is any child, including a legally adopted, fostered or stepchild, of the account holder. To be covered, they must be all of the following:

  • under 18, or under 24 if in full-time education, on the start date of the trip
  • living with the account holder or their other parent, and
  • not married or in a civil partnership.

When does the cover start?

As soon as your FlexPlus current account opens. This includes travel insurance as well as mobile phone insurance and breakdown cover.

Sometimes, we might not be able to open your account straight away. For example, if you're opening a joint account and we need additional signatures. In these cases, your cover begins as soon as you get our letter or email saying your account is open.

What's not included?

Exclusions and limitations apply to some types of cover, so always check the policy documents for full details. Here are some of the main exclusions.

  • Cover for those aged 70 or over, unless you purchase an age upgrade.

  • Cover for trips longer than 31 days, unless you purchase a trip extension upgrade.

  • Cover for medical conditions that have not been declared to, and accepted by, the insurer.

  • Trips that do not start and end in the UK.

  • Cover for trips in the UK that last less than 2 nights.

  • Cover for trips in the UK where you do not stay in pre-booked commercially operated accommodation, such as a hotel.

  • Cover for non-UK residents. A UK resident is someone who is registered with a UK GP and spends at least 6 months of any 12-month period in the UK.

Upgrades

There are many upgrades available for FlexPlus travel insurance. Before you travel, make sure you have the upgrades you need to cover your trip.

How to find alternative medical cover

If the insurer cannot offer you an upgrade to cover you for a medical condition, or the cost of an upgrade for your medical condition is more than expected, help could still be available.

The insurer has worked with the Financial Conduct Authority and Money and Pensions Service to create a directory of specialist insurance providers that you can search when they're unable to help. To find an alternative travel insurance provider:

If your circumstances change

Family member moving out

If a family member stops living at your address, they won't be covered any more. If they are only away temporarily, for example at university, they are still covered.

Leaving the UK

If you move away from the UK, you'll still have to pay the £13 fee each month for maintaining the account. However, you won't qualify for any of the insurances that come with the account.

Cancelling your cover

The only way to cancel your travel insurance is to close your FlexPlus current account. You cannot cancel individual insurance policies, they come as a package.

If you close your FlexPlus current account, your cover and any upgrades will come to an end. You will not be able to get a refund for any upgrades you've bought outside of the 14 day cooling-off period.
