I heard of this offer through Unison…

I heard of this offer through Unison Life. I was interested, and on phoning your organisation I had all my questions answered, and jad everything and more explained in easy to understand terms.

Absolutely awful experience

Absolutely awful experience. After paying into this scheme for a few years I hit a crisis and needed to make a claim for 2 months illness.
They took months to resolve, I had to chase them constantly and the same with a complaint. You guessed it they didn't pay out!
The way this was managed was appalling customer service, regardless of the outcome.
I would not recommend them at all.
I have never made any claim against any insurance policy and when I needed it most they let me down spectacularly!

I have been paying an income protection…

I have been paying an income protection plan with this company for 3 years
In good faith believing I was covered if I was off work ill. I became unwell in April but was forced to return to work after 7 weeks as I have bills and surprise surprise after a lot of added emotional upset and stress by this company they have stated and advise me today my claim is unsuccessful. They have given me so much conflicting information. The communication from them has been very poor they have almost accused me of lying such a horrible experience and a complete waste of money and my emotional time. I will be taking this whole matter to the financial ombudsman please do not waste your money I do not know how these people live with them selves and the way my claims handler spoke to me was so so demoralising

No Gimmicks Good Value

I felt the policy provided good value for money, less on offer by way of introductory value(incentive) however when you consider the level of cover and the straightforward application process I think SF are giving their customers excellent service

Very good option for inexperienced investors.

As I, personally, had just joined Quidco, and signed up to Shepherds Friendly Investment ISA through them, I did quite well financially by doing this.

Also, I've wanted to get a little bit involved in an Investment ISA for quite a long time,but, having very little experience in doing so myself, Shepherds Friendly seems a very sensible option to take up.

Easy process

Very easy process to open a junior isa for our 3 week old! Every fee clearly laid out to give an informed financial decision which I’m sure he will appreciate when he’s 18

Don't waste your money

Don't waste your money, policy okay up to the point you want to claim. Long term sickness. Diagnosed with heart failure. The communication was poor and slow. They brought up past medical conditions which l had never claimed for. And when trying to claim for some thing severe. They just did not want to know. Hence do not waste your money or time.

LOW INTEREST RATE. CANNOT WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY EASILY.

IN NOVEMBER 2025 I INVESTED SOME MONEY WITH SHEPHERDS FRIENDLY. I WAS INFORMED IN APRIL 2026 I HAD MADE 3.75% INTEREST ON MY INVESTMENT. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I EXPECTED A BETTER DIVIDEND THAN 3.75% FROM A FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
I DECIDED TO REMOVE MY MONEY AND REINVEST ELSEWHERE.
I THEN TRIED TO WITHDRAW MY MONEY FROM SHEPHERDS FRIENDLY AND FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO THIS ONLINE.
I CONTACTED THEM VIA EMAIL AND FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THEM TO RELEASE MY MONEY.
WHY DOES THIS COMPANY TAKE YOUR MONEY THEN MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE CUSTOMER TO GET IT BACK.
THE MONEY BELONGS TO THE CUSTOMER NOT THE INVESTMENT COMPANY.
NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS COMPANYS RETURN ON MY INVESTMENT OR THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY ONCE IT IS INVESTED.

VERY UNHAPPY EXPERIENCE WITH SHEPHERD FRIENDLY.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Hello Jim,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. As a mutual, we always value comments from our members, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met your expectations.

We take decisions about bonus rates very seriously, and our investments are managed with the aim of providing more predictable performance over time by carefully managing market volatility. Each quarter, we provide our members with an investment update, which provides a detailed commentary of the performance of our With-Profits fund, the wider market, and the bonus rate that has been applied to the plan.

Like any investment, returns can fluctuate. AER shows how much an investment could grow over a year if returns were to remain at the same level throughout that period. Bonuses are reviewed and applied quarterly, so future rates may be different.

Our goal is to provide higher returns over the medium to long term compared with a bank or building society account, and investments are generally intended to be held for several years. In your bonus rate email, you can read our latest investment update for more information.

We’re also sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced when trying to withdraw your money. This certainly isn’t the experience we want for our members, and we’d like to look into this for you. I’ve sent you an email through Trustpilot asking for a few details - please could you reply with your phone number, plan number and postcode so we can help.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Member Services team here:

Kind regards,

Lauren
