A friendly society bond for a better tomorrow

Just imagine what you could do with a tax-free lump sum in 10, 20 or 25 years’ time. You could use it to buy a new car, pay for home improvements or treat your family. Our Family Bond lets you invest regular amounts over a long period to give you freedom over your future.

What is a Family Bond?

A Family Bond is a simple and tax-efficient way of regularly investing your money over the long term – you can choose to invest £25 each month or £270 each year, and as long as you keep up payments and keep it invested for at least 10 years, you won’t pay tax on the proceeds.

Our Family Bond also comes with some life cover, which pays out 75% of the total premiums payable over 10 years. If the value of your Family Bond is higher, we will pay that instead.

Frequently asked questions

The Government has set maximum limits of £25 a month or £270 per year for savings plans with favourable tax treatments. These can be paid via a regular Direct Debit. If you already have one or more TESPs with us you can still apply for another one. As long as you stay within the maximum limits, you can invest as little as £10 a month or £100 a year.

As a qualifying policy, the Family Bond has an overall limit of £3,600 per year that can be paid into qualifying policies that you hold. If you have one of these policies, regular yearly or monthly payments will be made and the policy will have an initial payment term of at least 10 years. The policy will also include some life cover.
