  • Santander Home Insurance also comes with optional extras such as Personal Belongings; and Extra Accidental Damage Cover.

Santander also added 24 Hour Emergency Cover and Legal Services Cover of up to £50,000; which are in addition to the standard policy (and excluded from any discount).

Alan Mathewson, head of Santander Insurance, said: “At Santander, we pride ourselves in offering customers a breadth and depth of home insurance cover that protects them when they need it most. That’s why we’re so pleased that our unlimited buildings and contents cover is rated as 5 star by Defaqto, the independent financial research company.

“We also understand that customers want to feel recognised and valued by their bank. So for home insurance we offer a 30% discount for our 123 Current Account and/or 123 Credit Card customers as well as a 20% discount for existing customers.”
