New and existing
current account customers at Santander can now avail of the improved benefits that come with the provider's Reward
Bank Account in the form of a free upgrade.
Representatives for the bank say the introduction of national GreenFlag breakdown recovery came about after the UK's recent cold snap highlighted "just how important car breakdown cover can be".
"Our customers will have greater peace of mind that wherever they are in the UK, they will be given the best chance of reaching their destination, should a car breakdown occur," remarks its head of
current accounts, Helen Bierton.
As well as the breakdown cover, the Reward
current account offers a credit interest rate of 6.00% AER fixed for 12 months on balances up to £2,500, annual worldwide family
travel insurance, identity protection, card loss assistance, key protection and leisure benefits which provide savings on days out and hotel accommodation.
"With the fantastic interest rate which is 60 times more than most other providers who offer 0.1% or nothing at all, and the list of benefits worth over £460 a year for just £10 a month, the Reward
Bank Account is far ahead of comparable accounts currently available," concludes Bierton.
