PMS Mortgage Club, which is part of Sesame Bankhall Group, has added mutual society Cirencester Friendly as a partner firm to boost its protection offering.
The move will provide PMS members with access to Cirencester Friendly’s income protection products, which cover up to 65% of a customer’s income should they become unable to work due to illness or injury.
These income protection products are designed to be both affordable and inclusive, with no premium loading for smoking, occupation, or hazardous pursuits, and a range of deferred periods including split deferred. The friendly society also offers added-value benefits to members outside of its products including year-round support, not just at point of claim.
The addition of Cirencester Friendly to the PMS protection offering means that its members can now choose protection products from 15 UK providers.
“With an excellent reputation for customer service and claims management, Cirencester Friendly brings over 130 years’ experience of offering protection cover, and we are delighted that PMS members will now have access to its products,” Strategic relationships director at Sesame Bankhall Group, Stephanie Charman.
“Like them, we care passionately about the need for protection, particularly in these difficult economic times, and are committed to adding value to members. This partnership helps further enhance our offer, providing advisers and in turn their customers, with a greater choice of products and options available to suit their needs.”
Distribution director at Cirencester Friendly, Alan Waddington, added: “At a time when so many people are facing uncertainty, we are delighted that the addition of our comprehensive income protection products to PMS helps us reach more people who want to protect their monthly pay.
“It is our goal to provide much needed protection and security to those that need it the most, and forging partnerships with respected organisations such as PMS helps to do exactly that. We look forward to building a strong and successful partnership with them.”
