Why Police Friendly?
We are financial experts dedicated to providing effective, great-value products and services to members of the UK Police Family.
A career with the Police is more than a job – it's a lifestyle for you and your family. And no-one understands that better than us.
About Police Friendly
We have been supporting the Police Family since 1893 when volunteers formed the Metropolitan Police Provident Association to help widows of colleagues, and retiring Police Officers.
Since then we’ve been offering unique Police-friendly financial products and services to serving and retired Police Officers, Police Staff and their families across the whole of the UK.
Although we are known as Metfriendly in London we have listened to the UK Police Family and so have recently added a new name, Police Friendly, to cover the rest of the UK. Today we have grown to be a multi-million pound organisation – but we STILL have our Members’ interests at the heart of everything we do. Every penny of profit made by us is either returned to our members through their savings or spent on supporting the Police Family in the UK.
Police Friendly and Metfriendly

Better protection
Our policies are protected by the Financial Service Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for Long-term Insurance products. This means that there is no upper limit on the amount protected (100% protection), unlike the FSCS Deposit and Investment schemes which are limited to £85,000 per person.
Building stronger bonds: Our commitment to community and outreach
At Police Friendly, we actively engage with the policing community through sponsorships and outreach initiatives. From supporting charity runs to hosting financial education sessions, we strive to uplift and empower those who dedicate their lives to serving others.
