Following this feedback, we have delivered an income protection contract that provides flexibility, affordability and peace of mind through a continuing income for Members, should the worst happen.

"My Earnings Insurance is the Society’s first non-Holloway contract and is available to mortgage advisers and insurance brokers as well as CF30 financial advisers.  This means the award winning service on which the Society has built its reputation will now be available to many more advisers and prospective Members. Although it signals a new era for the Society as our first ‘Non-Holloway Contract’ the mission of “Protecting our Members Financially” remains at the very core of My Earnings Insurance.”
