About us

For over 150 years, we’ve been helping Police Officers, Staff and their families with their finances. With no shareholders, we are run for the benefit of our members and the Police Service which means we can focus on delivering the things that are most important to them. We offer benevolent support, insight and financial education as well as a range of exclusive products and services designed especially for the Police.

In February 2014 we began the process of developing our Military business when we acquired Forces Financial. Founded in 1999, Forces Financial offered insurance, money and travel products to meet the needs of the British military personnel, their families, support staff and contractors. Then in April 2016 we acquired Abacus Holdings Limited another highly successful brand with over 25 years’ experience in working with the armed forces insurance. We’ve combined two great businesses to create a new Forces Mutual brand, offering insurance, money and travel products.
