The AA unveils plans to offer savings accounts and personal loans
The partnership will enable the AA to expand its range of financial services, with products that could help people save for their first driving lesson or helping with the cost of an emergency repair.
It will also see the AA offer a differentiated product range for its personal breakdown members and insurance customers.
Details of the products will be issued when they when they are set to go live.
The savings accounts will have the protection of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which compensates customers when financial institutions go bust.
Savings and personal loans are the first step of a long-term partnership, the AA said.
The new financial products it will offer could help people with a car purchase.
Previous research for the AA, carried out by Yonder, indicates that one in three UK drivers (33%) are looking to purchase a car in 2025, up from 16% last year.
More than half (54%) of those in the market for a car aim to opt for a 'greener' vehicle this year, such as a hybrid or a fully electric vehicle.
Jakob Pfaudler, chief executive of the AA said: 'We are delighted to announce this financial services partnership with NatWest Boxed as we continue to broaden the range of services we offer our members.'
Andrew Ellis, chief executive of NatWest Boxed, which is backed by NatWest Group and operates as a separate entity, said: 'We are proud to support the ambition the AA has for its customers, using our technology, balance sheet, operational support, and regulatory expertise to drive future growth.'
Rachel Springall, a finance expert at Moneyfactscompare.co.uk said: 'It's great to see the AA reveal its partnership and that it will be launching both an instant access savings account and an unsecured personal loan.'
She said the AA has offered a 'best buy' easy access account in the past and 'isn't a stranger to the personal finance area'.
Ms Springall continued: 'More choice in the market is great news overall and there will be loyal members enticed by the new deals once they surface.
'However, on the flipside, it's always wise for consumers to shop around for any deal, whether it be insurance, savings or loans, just to ensure they are getting the best possible deal. The convenience to use one brand is great to save time, but customers need to make sure this does not come at a cost to them.'

Fury as Sadiq Khan banks surprise £14MILLION driven by hated Ulez fines in ‘war on motorists'
SADIQ Khan is on course to bank a surprise £14million boost driven by Ulez fines last year — fuelling fresh claims of town halls waging a war on drivers. The London mayor 's windfall came mainly from motorists failing to pay the £12.50 daily low emission charge, according to a draft report. The fines haul helped double Transport for London 's expected budget surplus — albeit much of it is proving difficult to collect. The AA's Luke Bosdet said: 'Why is it generating millions more in income than forecast instead of wiping out older and polluting vehicles in London? 'Town Halls across the country are following suit, waging a coordinated war on motorists through stealth taxes.' Shadow Transport Secretary Gareth Bacon said: ' Ulez was never about air pollution, it was always about money and the millions the mayor has raked in proves it.' TfL said the surplus, from April 1 to May 24, also included other funds, including from advertising. It added: 'The Ulez is not about making money. "It has led to cleaner air across London.'

Lloyds Bank customers urged to act now or miss out on £185
Their current cash incentive for switching is £185 and runs from Tuesday, 1 July to 28 July 2025. This date is the last day you can both open a new account and start the switch. The payment will be made within ten working days of the switch completion. Lloyds said: "As long as we receive your application before the 28th of July ends, you'll be able to qualify for the switch offer." Looking to get your money moving and start investing? Here's how Lloyds Bank can help you to do just that. Search Lloyds Bank Ready-Made investments to find out more. Bank — Pennies To Pounds (@penniestopound) July 22, 2025 The switch must be via the Current Account Switch Service, according to the terms and conditions from the high street bank. Your money is secure – the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) guarantees up to £85,000 per person, per financial institution. This means that if your bank ever went bust, you would be guaranteed your money back (up to £85,000), according to Money Saving Expert, the site founded by BBC and ITV star Martin Lewis. You can only get one payment per person, regardless of how many accounts you open. And you'll miss out completely if you've received a switching bonus from Lloyds or Halifax since April 2020. Recommended reading: MSE detailed: "As well as the upfront switch cash, with Club Lloyds you can choose one of the rewards above each year." "Do note there's a £5/month fee unless you pay in £2,000+ a month," the consumer champion's advice website has also added. It went on to say: "You also get access to a linked regular saver paying 6.25% fixed interest for a year on up to £400/month (maxed out, it's £161/year interest) and the debit card has no fees on overseas spending with near-perfect exchange rates. "The switch offer is also available on the Club Lloyds Silver account, one of our top picks for packaged accounts which provides a range of insurance for £11.50/month."
