Unlimited overseas medical expenses if you’re injured or are ill abroad.

Key exclusions

The travel insurance that comes with the Santander Edge Explorer current account doesn't cover everything, so it's important you understand what you're not covered for. Here are some of the key points:

Anything related to a medical condition that you haven’t told Chubb about or if you're travelling against your doctor's advice.

Trips that don’t start and end in the UK.

Flight delays under 12 hours.

Travel to an area where the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) has advised against any travel that isn’t essential (except for cancellation claims).

Financial failure of your travel provider or organiser.

Trips lasting more than 31 days or more than 21 days if it includes winter sports. You can cover for up to 62 days in a row if you purchase the optional upgrade cover 'Trip Extension' with Chubb.

A cancellation claim for illness without evidence.

You won't be covered if you've been diagnosed with a terminal condition, or if you're travelling to obtain medical treatment against medical advice.

Money, passports or valuables left unattended (unless locked away).

Who is covered?

Worldwide travel insurance covers you and your partner up to the age of 75 (cover ends for everyone once the account holder is 75) and any dependent children or grandchildren under 18 who live at the same home address. Dependents are covered up until 23 if they’re still in full-time education.

Your family members are only covered if you (or a joint account holder) are also on the trip with them.

When does cover start?

Travel cover starts as soon as your Santander Edge Explorer current account is open. Your trip must begin after the period of insurance starts and must begin and end in the UK.

Pre-existing medical conditions

A medical condition is considered to be pre-existing if it’s diagnosed before you booked your trip or took out the policy. Chubb can cover for some pre-existing medical conditions but only if you’ve told them. In some cases, the terms of your policy might change, or you might have to pay extra. It's important you declare all of your family's medical conditions and medications as soon as your account is opened, or if anything changes after this. You can do this by logging in to your Santander Online Banking or Mobile Banking app and click on 'Take me to Chubb'. If you don't, your policy might be invalid. This could result in a claim being declined.

You must tell Chubb if you or anyone to be covered by the policy:

• have any pre-existing medical conditions and what these are.
• have a health change. This means if you’re diagnosed with or treated for a condition after taking out this policy but before going on a trip.
• are currently being investigated by a doctor or have seen a specialist or consultant. This includes if you’re waiting for treatment or test results, or to be referred to a specialist.
• have stayed at or been treated in hospital or had surgery.
• have been prescribed any medication. You must take any medication recommended or prescribed to you by a doctor. 

If you’re not sure if Chubb need to know something, you can get in touch with them for advice by calling them on 0800 519 8034, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.

You won’t be covered if you’ve been diagnosed with a terminal condition, or if you’re travelling to obtain medical treatment against medical advice.

Alternative medical cover

If Chubb can't cover a particular condition, there are other options. Visit the Money and Pensions Scheme (MaPs) directory to find specialist travel insurance providers, or call 0800 138 7777, Monday to Friday, 8am-6pm.

What can you do to make claiming easier?

In the event of a claim, you must give accurate answers to the questions Chubb ask. Failure to do so could result in your policy being invalid and could mean that all or part of a claim might not be paid.

How to submit a claim

It's quick and easy to submit an online claim, log in to your Santander Online Banking or Mobile Banking app and click on 'Take me to Chubb’.

If you’re abroad and in need of emergency help, call Chubb Assistance on +44 (0) 800 519 8036. Lines are open 24/7.

FCDO

Before you book your trip, you should check the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) website for information about the country you’re travelling to. You are not covered for travel to an area where the FCDO has advised against all travel or all but essential travel (except for cancellation claims).

Additional information 

Partners (who are not named on the account) and children are only covered for trips that include at least one account holder. When you submit a claim, you’ll be required to pay a £75 excess per person, per section (unless optional upgrade cover 'Excess waiver' has been purchased).

Missed Departure is only covered for public transport not arriving on schedule, or your car/taxi suffering a breakdown or accident. Travel Delay, Travel Abandonment and Missed Departure benefits only apply to scheduled outbound international departures. Internal flights in the UK are not included.

With your Santander Edge Explorer current account, you get access to phone or video consultations with a doctor, wherever you are in the UK. You can ask any health-related questions, and they can be booked 24 hours a day (subject to availability).

For example, if you have pictures of rashes or skin conditions or perhaps medication that you’re taking, you can attach it to your consultation and the medical team will evaluate it.

Key exclusions

This service is not available outside of the UK.  If you’re abroad, in need of emergency help, call Chubb Assistance on +44 (0) 800 519 8036. Lines are open 24/7.

When does cover start?

24/7 GP remote access cover starts as soon your Santander Edge Explorer current account is open.

What can you do to make claiming easier?

Before you can book an appointment, you, your partner and any dependent children over 18, will need to register their ID with Teladoc as they will need to complete an ID verification process. Teladoc ask you to verify your identity because it helps them provide a safe and effective service. If Teladoc need to safeguard your wellbeing or react to an emergency situation, they need to be sure of your identity. The verification process also supports the transfer of information between Teladoc and other organisations like the NHS when you provide consent. It’s also a regulatory requirement by the Care Quality Commission, who regulate health and social care services across the country.

When you register with the service or request an appointment, you’ll be prompted to complete ID verification either on screen or via a link that Teladoc will send you so you can submit proof of identity. You’ll need to:

• Upload a picture of a photo ID document, most commonly a passport or driving license
• Upload a recent 'selfie' which Teladoc can compare to the picture on your photo ID

If you want to book an appointment for an eligible child, you’ll need to provide proof of parental responsibility for that child. Teladoc will contact you to request the relevant documentation. You must also have verified your own identity before the appointment can go ahead.

How to make an appointment

To request a GP appointment, log in to your Santander Online Banking or Mobile Banking app and click on ‘Take me to Teladoc’. If you have any issues with requesting a consultation, please call Teladoc on 0203 695 6364 from the UK, where one of Teladoc advisors will be happy to assist you. Lines are open 24/7.

Additional information

It’s important to note that Teladoc do not provide an emergency service. If you’re seriously unwell and experiencing a medical emergency, you should call 111, 999 or go straight to your nearest Accident and Emergency or urgent care centre. Conditions Teladoc can’t treat remotely include:

• Chest pains

• Severe abdominal pain
