Our verdict on each
CHECK24
CHECK24 suits German households who want one place to shop across savings, loans, mortgages and many insurance types, and who are happy to be matched to a partner rather than served directly. Its easy-access savings pays a headline rate of 3.82% with no notice period and free early repayment.
WorldTrips
WorldTrips is a US insurer aimed at expats, selling travel medical cover where the largest plan pays USD 2,000,000 overall maximum (Atlas Travel). Support runs on email, phone and help centre and claims on Member Portal (DocuSign), mail and fax, so it suits people who want direct cover with a big ceiling.

Pros and cons
CHECK24
Pros
- Broker model: broker means loan, mortgage and policy terms come from partner banks and insurers rather than from a single provider
- Daily-access savings with no notice period, cancellable at any time, at a headline rate of 3.82%
- A single catalogue covering auto, home and life, so most household policies can be compared in one place
Cons
- A comparison site rather than an insurer or lender: comparison site means the terms and the protections depend on the partner matched to you
- The median easy-access rate across the site is 3%, under the CHECK24 headline rate of 3.82%, so cheaper listings exist
- The listed credit check is soft prequal, which leaves any hard search to the partner bank once an offer is accepted
WorldTrips
Pros
- It is the insurer itself rather than a broker or a comparison site (insurer).
- The largest plan pays USD 2,000,000 overall maximum (Atlas Travel), a high ceiling for a medical bill abroad.
- Claims can be filed on Member Portal (DocuSign), mail and fax, including a Member Portal with DocuSign.
Cons
- The range is travel only, so there is no auto, home or life cover here.
- Applicants past a certain age are capped at a much smaller policy maximum, so older travellers get a thinner ceiling.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat or branch counter.
Who each suits
CHECK24
Who it suits
- German households holding several policy types who want one place to compare them all
- Anyone parking cash in easy-access savings while keeping it reachable at any time
- Borrowers who want a soft prequalification before a bank runs a full credit check
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a direct provider with its own terms, where bunq lends in its own name rather than matching you to partner banks
- People who want life cover written and settled by a single insurer, where Linxea issues directly at a premium from €25
- Readers outside Germany who want a portal registered in their own market, where bunq Spain answers to Spanish registration rather than the German chamber licences held by CHECK24
WorldTrips
Who it suits
- Expats and people relocating who need medical costs covered away from home.
- Travellers who want a high benefit ceiling and a direct insurer to deal with.
- Anyone who prefers a US insurer holding a California non-resident producer licence.
Who should look elsewhere
- Linxea, which covers life and is the pick if you want life cover rather than expat medical.
- Euroasia Insurance, which covers auto, home and travel, if you need auto or home cover alongside travel.
- Oney Préstamos ES, which covers health, life and gadget, if health or gadget cover at home is the real need.

Questions about each
CHECK24
Is CHECK24 a bank or an insurer?+
No. CHECK24 is a comparison site (comparison site) that sends requests out to partner banks and insurers, and the listed lender type is a broker. The loan or policy you end up holding is issued by the partner rather than by CHECK24, so the price, the terms and the protection all come from that partner.
How much does it cost to use CHECK24?+
There is no origination fee, listed at 0 EUR, and the daily-access savings account carries a monthly fee of €0. The savings headline rate is 3.82% and the minimum deposit is €0, so there is no balance hurdle before you start earning.
WorldTrips
What does WorldTrips actually insure?+
WorldTrips is an insurer rather than a broker or a comparison site, and it sells one line of cover: travel medical insurance aimed at expats. That means medical care and treatment abroad, not your car, your home or your belongings. It has been trading since 1998 and is based in the US.
How much would a serious claim pay out?+
The largest plan sets an overall ceiling of USD 2,000,000 overall maximum (Atlas Travel), so a major hospital bill abroad is not the thing that limits you. Smaller plans sit lower. You meet the excess first, which runs $0 to $5,000 depending on the plan, before the insurer starts paying the cost.
