Mobile phone in the sand How does it work?

How does it work?

  • Covers the phone you use on a daily basis. If your account is in joint names, cover is also provided for the phone the other account holder uses on a daily basis.  There is no cover for phones owned by your employer.
  • In total 2 successful claims can be made on this policy in any 12 month period. If this is a joint account, both account holders can make 2 successful claims, with a maximum of 4 per account.
  • Our replacement phones are refurbished handsets in ‘as new’ condition using genuine manufacturer parts.
  • There is a £100 excess for each successful claim.

Cover starts as soon as your account is open, but you can register your handset to make the claims process quicker.

Enjoy cash-back on everything from top sporting events and music concerts to your favourite comedians, theatre and dance shows throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the UK.

Cash-back applies on up to four tickets per event and you can take advantage as often as you like, as long as you are attending the event. Tickets must be booked by phoning the ufirstgold membership services - Ticketmaster events can be booked online.

Interest-free arranged overdraft buffer

You can apply for an interest-free arranged overdraft buffer of up to £250 (subject to credit review and approval). This means you won’t be charged arranged interest if your balance remains below the approved buffer. If your arranged overdraft balance exceeds the approved buffer, you’ll be charged arranged overdraft interest on the full arranged balance.

If you go overdrawn without an arranged overdraft, or go over your agreed limit, fees and interest may apply.
