Say hello to metal

Phone insurance, from Assurant

Worth an average of £96.58 a year. More on this below.

We’ve all been there, right? That heart-in-your-mouth moment where you reach down to flip over the phone you dropped to the concrete. It’s a feeling we’d all rather avoid, and knowing your phone’s insured can really put your mind at ease.

With Monzo Premium, phones worth up to £2,000 (including VAT) are protected against theft, loss and accidental damage – even the dreaded cracked screen.

Any accessories under £300 are covered too, like headphones, chargers or cases. If you had to make a claim, you’d pay the first £75 – this is what’s called the excess.

Read the Assurant terms and conditions for exclusions and full details. There’s also the Assurant Insurance Product Information Document (IPID) for a summary of the benefits, exclusions and other important information.
