New Santander Account: £20 Cashback Every Month and Insurance for £17.

New Banking Solution from Santander

According to The Sun: Santander Bank launches a new current account that offers clients the opportunity to earn £20 cashback per month.

This initiative comes after the closure of the 123 Lite account, which serviced around 14 million customers in the UK last month.

Benefits of the New Account

The new Santander Edge Explorer account has several benefits, including family travel insurance, mobile phone insurance, and accident coverage in both the UK and Europe. Customers can also access a doctor anytime for free.

However, to maintain the account, customers must pay a monthly fee of £17.

• 1% cashback up to £10 per month on qualifying card spend.
• Up to £10 per month on bills paid by direct debit.
• Access to the Edge Saver account with an interest rate of 6.00% AER on balances up to £4,000.

This rate includes a bonus introductory rate for the first 12 months after opening the account.

Customers can open an account if they are aged between 18 and 73 and live in the UK. Joint account holders must live at the same address.

Expert Opinion

Finance expert Andrew Hagger believes the new account is 'quite an attractive offer.'

“Cashback, returns on bills, and interest on savings can total nearly £40 a month if you fully utilize the account,” Hagger said.

“This means you get travel insurance, accident coverage, and mobile phone insurance for free,” he added.

Expert Rachel Springall emphasized the importance of checking which benefits are truly valuable to customers to understand if these products suit them.

“The account has a £17 monthly fee, but this can be covered thanks to an attractive cashback offer where customers can earn up to £20 from card spend and qualifying household bills,” Springall clarified.
