This insurance does not automatically provide cover for medical conditions suffered by you or anyone else to be insured by this policy. If you or anyone to be insured by this policy has a pre-existing medical condition and want to see if additional cover is available for that condition, you can call the insurer U K Insurance Limited on 0800 051 01 54 to arrange a medical screening. If you choose not be screened then any claims relating to a pre-existing medical condition will not be covered.

Cover will be in place as soon as the account is opened.

• If a family member stops living at your address they’ll no longer be covered
• Once you turn 70, you'll need to contact the insurer to buy an age extension, which you need to renew annually in order to remain covered. There is an annual premium of £65 and only one is required per account. When you call you will be asked some questions about the health of all insured persons. The number to contact is 0800 051 01 54
• If you cancel your FlexPlus current account your cover will come to an end.

You can cancel your insurance cover at any time. This can be done by closing your FlexPlus account, at which point the benefits and services of our cover will no longer be available. Give us a call on 0800 11 88 55 to find out more.

If you cancel any of the benefits or services of your FlexPlus account, the account must be closed or switched to another current account that you are eligible to open. No refund will be due upon cancellation.

You may be paying twice for the same cover, so you’ll need to consider which policy provides the best cover for you.

You don't need to tell us before you travel as your cover is already in place as soon as you open your FlexPlus account.
