Travel insurance

Benefit from Travel Insurance when you book your trip with your Bank of Scotland Business Credit or Business Charge Card

Period of insurance and cancellation rights

The insurance commences on the date that the first card is issued and remains in force throughout the period during which any of the cards to which it relates are valid. Renewal of the insurance will be automatic on renewal of a card. Cancellation of the card agreement will automatically cancel the insurance. The insurance cannot be cancelled independently of the card contract.

Additional services for cardholders

This insurance meets the demands and needs of organisations that wish to provide employees with benefits that may not be included in standard travel insurance policies.

The benefits are arranged by Aspire Insurance Advisers Limited, an International SOS company, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, reference number 312228. Cover is provided when at least 50% of the total cost of business travel has been purchased with our Business Cards. These services cover the cardholder, his/her family and up to three colleagues travelling together.
