Jonas Templestein, Monzo co-founder, said: “We asked our community of users what features they wanted Monzo Plus to include and travel insurance was clearly the top choice.

“In addition to 1.5% interest on their balance, and access to exclusive offers, our new Monzo Plus customers can now add AXA travel insurance at a competitive rate.

“And that’s just the start. We are hoping to further build-out our offering very soon, with users being able to pick and choose custom products, including contents and mobile phone insurance.”

Sunita Apte, global account director at AXA Partners, commented: “The world of banking has changed significantly in recent years, with challenger banks competing against the traditional high street banks. In doing so, they are attracting vast numbers of new users in a short space of time, which is due to their ability to provide innovative and useful features to their customers.
