Founded in 1902, British Friendly has over a century of experience and expertise in serving its members. As a mutual provider we are more flexible in our approach to claims and underwriting which is why we pay so many claims - an average of 94% over the last 20 years. We offer a range of products and services from our traditional investment linked policies, Holloway and Century, to Protect and Breathing Space, our pure Income Protection policies, which are sold by Financial Advisers throughout the UK. Being insured by a mutual should feel good, and when you choose British Friendly you get more than just Income Protection. We offer access to extra support and rewards for you and your family every day, whether you claim or not, and at no extra cost through our discretionary Mutual Benefits and BF Care programmes. That’s why, at British Friendly, it really does feel good to be covered.

Great service from BBFS

BBFS provided a very professional, helpful and efficient service when my daughter suffered a broken neck and arm tendon injuries. Without the BBFS policy my daughter's business would have been struggling to survive in 2024.

Don't do it.

They will not pay out. They will find any way possible to not pay. Not worth a penny of your money.

avoid like lice, you are a good customer to them as long as you pay your dues, as soon as you need the support you paid for then they release their hounds which aim to suppress your arguments. I do not recommend, avoid

Avoid this company

Avoid this company. I've been off work for 5 weeks and company have advised me the deferred terminology means I don't get paid for the first 4 weeks. I have spoke to my FA and they have advised they have this resolved. When speaking today to British friendly they are still adamant it's only paid from week 4. No where on any documents in basic terms does it state no payments for the first 4 weeks. Can only claim from week 4 but want bank statements, payslips, contracts of employment, physio reports. Not the simple policy I was sold at all and gives me little reassurance or faith if I'm off sick long term I will be covered.

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND CARING STAFF

Amazing company. Since 2021 first diagnosis of breast cancer, then on return back to work months after… they were available to help me again due to after-effect shoulder/tendon problem along with providing me with a Second Opinion with a private surgeon. I can mention a few very helpful members of staff but sorry if I have forgotten anybody! Charlie, Natalie and recently Stephen Bew I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. nearing the end to find out diagnosis now and without British Friendly I would have lost my home.

Avoid this company

Would not recommend this company. Very disappointed, sent updates and sick notes as requested but have stopped payments. Nobody available to speak to, need to wait 5 days for someone to look at my claim. My GP has decided I’m still not fit for work, however I need to wait to find out if your claim manager agrees!
Now awaiting a response from the complaints team!!

Absolutely horrendous

Absolutely horrendous, as all the insurance companies we expect them to be liars but these ones are the cherry from the cake.

Long story short they charge you a sum per month and they tell you you'll get paid immediately in case of an accident that prevent you to work, how much you pay it's how much you get, I paid 40£ per month to get around 750£ per week as that was my income. Lies, they keep postpone you and they pay you using your last end of the year or p60. So if your income change over the year you will still pay the 40£ per month but if you get minimum wage they will pay you 70% of that meaning 300£ per week. If you get 100.000£ per year they won't pay 1300£ per week. No sir, they will pay the maximum 750£ per week so whatever is best for them.

And they pay you after about 2 months when you healed already, you must pay some premiums as well and it's really hard to get in contact with them.

I had 2 cracked ribs and my income had increased since last year when I was doing minimum wage, it has increased 3 times but they decide to pay me 188£ per week. A tot joke when I was making 1200£ per week.

Totally avoid, liars and thiefes. I'm still not done with them and I think I will need the help of an ombudsman to sort it out.

Again, avoid.

Waste of time.

After spending well over an hour on my application for income protection I was declined due to my occupation. If you don’t cover my occupation then why waste my time with the application process when one of the first questions was regarding my occupation. Cheers for nothing.

Capital C for Crap

I took out my insurance due to being single person had it for nearly 3 years and after one call I totally regret doing any business with this poor customer service company. If I ever need to use the insurance after reading some reviews I don’t think they will help. Think it’s company of crooks. I would stay well away from this company. They blame everything on the financial advisor I used when setting up policy. Happy to take your money that’s it . Very poor customer service on phone.
