Your Financial Ally Forces Mutual shares a common purpose with Police Mutual Group: "We exist to improve the lives of those that lay their lives on the line and those who support them." 'Improving the lives' of members is a simple thing to say, but something many companies rarely manage to do. As a Mutual, and as a not for profit organisation, we arguably have a greater responsibility to our members, we understand that we cannot afford not to fulfil this purpose. As a company we hope to become your financial ally by understanding the needs of the Armed Forces and their families throughout the various stages of your lives. Here are some examples of why we think we can live up to this purpose: The widest offering of financial service products We offer the widest range of financial service products to members of the Armed Forces and their families. This means we can take care of our members throughout their Military careers, whether they’re looking to buy a first home, take out insurance, save some money, book a holiday, afford private healthcare and so on. Face to face advice when you need it With a combined team of over 90 advisors (many of whom come from the Military family) and branches across the UK, Germany and Cyprus, we ensure that there is always someone close by who members can turn to for advice. As a not for profit organisation we look to pay out when things go wrong Because we are a mutual and a not for profit organisation, we never approach insurance claims with the aim of not paying out, but rather with the desire to do right by our members. This approach has meant that in 2015 Forces Financial alone paid out nearly £1 million pounds in claims to its members. Unlike high street insurers, this was something the organisation was proud to do and something Forces Mutual will also take pride in. Free financial advice and education We continue to offer free financial advice and education to members of the Armed Forces; from helping over 1000 families in 2015 to complete on their mortgages, to helping hundreds of members of the Forces and their families to manage money worries with free debt advice. Our Military Foundation also runs over 80 financial education courses annually for service personnel to help them make more informed decisions when it comes to their finances.

This award follows Forces Financial being the first dedicated Forces financial services provider to sign the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant in 2014, marking the organisation’s on-going commitment to helping the Armed Forces community. We proudly display our certificate across our branch network. View our signed certificate What is a corporate covenant? A corporate covenant is a written and publicised voluntary pledge from businesses and charitable organisations who wish to demonstrate their concrete support for the armed forces community. The corporate covenant is designed to allow businesses and charitable organisations to express their support, and commit to ways in which they can provide that support. What does a corporate covenant include? All corporate covenants include a core statement of commitment that those adopting the scheme sign up to. This covers the two key principles of the Armed Forces covenant, which are: No member of the Armed Forces community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen In some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved Your Financial Ally | 00 800 00 01 02 03 | 0044 (0)345 658 1140 Legal | Privacy Policy | Cookies Policy Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
