At British Friendly we’re dedicated to providing affordable, reliable and flexible Income Protection cover and we’ve been doing just that since 1902.

As a mutual provider, our members are at the heart of everything we do, which drives our commitment to paying claims – 96% paid over the last 14 years – and adding value to our members’ policies through our discretionary Mutual Benefits and BF Care programmes.

Because of our mutually inclusive cover, we welcome manual workers and self-employed clients – the people who we believe need Income Protection the most.

Why British Friendly?

• Cover for up to 70% of your clients’ annual taxable income with our Protect product
• A maximum retirement age of 70 with our Protect product

• Own occupation cover
• We don’t limit the number of claims that can be made on a policy
• We provide additional discretionary benefits to our members (both new and existing) at no additional cost
• We are a mutual with no shareholders so we exist solely for the benefit of our members
• Guaranteed age-costed premiums
