Santander 123 account - did it used to include travel insurance ?

LizB62

Hi

I've had a Santander 123 account for years and I'm sure it used to include basic travel insurance (which was fine if I was only travelling in the UK)
I can't find any mention of it in the account details now - have they removed it, or have I just made it up?!

Thanks

I've also had one for some years and am not aware they ever offered inclusive travel insurance.

Not in my memory

No. You might be mixing it up with Nationwide's FlexAccount, which used to include European travel insurance.

As someone who travels lots I wouldn't have switched from S123

Thanks all - I definitely had a bank account with travel insurance, so maybe it's my Flex account I'm thinking of
I've taken out a policy now so I'm definitely covered

The Nationwide account that charges a fee of £13 has world wide travel insurance plus other thing
123 account that has cashback + interest is now a closed account to new applicants

Third if you count the Halifax account's fee after (easy) £5 monthly reward.
Fourth if you count the Co-op Bank's fee after (ridiculous) £2.20 reward. 
(I hold the Nationwide account but it's not a no brainer.)
