Quarterly fee exemptions – family-linked customers

If any of your family members also have an account, you can save by linking your accounts so that only one of the accounts needs to pay the quarterly fee.  

Please note that our obligations are to treat each account separately, so we cannot automatically link family accounts. All underlying (child) accounts that are linked prior to midday on the working day before the quarterly fee run takes place (1st Jan / April / July and Oct) will be exempt from the quarterly fee – but will not receive the quarterly credit. 

If you live at the same address you can link your accounts directly online:

  1. Login into your account
  2. Go to Account Admin and select Family Account Linking
  3. Click on Request a New Link and enter the customer number of the linked account

If your family members live at a different address, they can still be linked but you will need to check with our contact centre on 0845 200 3637 to find out more.
