With the FlexPlus packaged current account, with a fee of £10, worldwide travel insurance is available for the whole family, and includes winter sports, golf, business and wedding cover as standard. It also covers travel disruption from weather events, natural disaster or airline failure and offers expenses cover for delays of more than four hours. Holidaymakers are covered whether they are travelling abroad or in the UK.
 
For those travelling by car either at home or abroad, there is UK and European breakdown cover.

As well as worldwide emergency card assistance, all cash withdrawals from the FlexPlus account are fee and commission free while abroad. There is also worldwide emergency card assistance and identity theft protection.
