Metfriendly UK Police Family finance specialists, since 1893. Savings, investments and protection for serving, former and retired UK Police and their families.

Volunteers formed the Metropolitan Police Provident Association in 1893 mainly to help widows of colleagues, and retiring officers. In 1948 this became the Metropolitan Police Friendly Society. Since then we’ve been offering unique police-friendly financial products and services to serving and retired police officers, police staff and their families. 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. Our friendly, expert team comprises experienced financial services professionals including actuaries and underwriters. But it’s our close relationship with the police service that helps us to provide a comprehensive range of savings, investments and protection products tailored to meet your needs. We know the ins and outs of the police pay system, pension scheme and political landscape. And we understand the risks you face and the worries your family deal with on a daily basis.

Meet this month's London Retired Police Dogs Trust calendar star: RPD Amber! 🐾

During her service with the Metropolitan Police, Amber worked as a fi****ms, cash and drugs detection dog across London. Now 11 years old, she's fully settled into retirement, living at home with her handler and family.

When an ongoing medical condition needed treatment, the London Retired Police Dogs Trust stepped in and covered 100% of her bills, helping get her back to the things she loves: swimming and long walks!

DID YOU KNOW?

The Lifetime ISA is still available today – and if you already have one, you can keep saving under the current rules, including the 25% Government bonus.

There's a consultation looking at a new First-Time Buyer ISA, which could eventually replace the LISA for new savers.

But for existing LISA holders, nothing changes: you can keep contributing, keep receiving your bonus, and put it towards your first home or retirement pot.

If you're aged 18 to 39 and don't yet have a LISA, there's still time to open one while it remains available.

It's Pension Awareness Week – a good moment to spend a little time on your own retirement planning.

The Police pension can be complicated, but you don't need to get to grips with it all at once. Even one small step this week could be worth it.

If you'd like to explore this topic in more depth, our next Pre-Retirement Options webinar for Police Officers is on 15th September.

More sessions are scheduled for later in the year so there will be plenty of chances to join.
