Barclays has launched a new bank account aimed at giving more to its customers who like to constantly keep on the move.
The Barclays Additions Active account comes with worldwide multi-trip travel insurance, comprehensive car breakdown cover throughout the UK and Europe from the RAC and mobile phone insurance, all of which should keep even the most active person covered.
On top of this, you will be paid 3.00% AER (variable) interest on credit balances over £1 and get the option to apply for an interest-free overdraft of up to £300.
Account holders will also be given cardholder protection, which will cover against loss or theft of cards and passports, plus extended warranties on their electrical items (both subject to registration).
The Additions Active account costs £14 per month, or £168 per year. However, the total cost of the above extras adds up to as much as £680 so, if you would ordinarily buy these items anyway, you set to save up to £432 throughout the year.
Plus, this account will give you the additional flexibility of an interest-free overdraft and the ability to set off on your travels without having to go through the hassle of arranging cover.
If, however, you don’t regularly go on long car journeys or on long haul holidays you may not set to gain from this bank account and would probably be better off with a standard free current account.
