NOTE: The terms for 2017 are different to the 2014-2016 terms – see “What will I get back?” for details.

Rolling Plan

Many of our members also choose to start new plans every year. This is known as the Rolling Five Year Savings Plan and means that after five years you will start receiving a pay-out every single year – ideal for regular annual events like Christmas, school fees or holidays. See the Rolling Plan FAQ below for full details.

What will I get back?

As an example, under this plan a regular premium of £50 per month (£600 per year, £3,000 in total) will be guaranteed a return of £3,050 after five years.

This is effectively your total premiums paid PLUS a month’s premiums.

NOTE: For all plans that began before January 1st 2017 the guaranteed return in the example above will be £3,100.

You can see in the graphic below an illustration of the returns.

The table shows what you would get back if you had to cash your plan in early.
