Our purpose

Our members, customers and the professions we serve are front and centre of everything we do, especially in difficult times. That’s why we’ve been working hard to provide support as the cost of living pressures impact so many people.

As a financially strong business, we can take long-term decisions that deliver the best outcomes for our members and customers. We are here to provide specialist financial advice, give peace of mind and security, help our customers make the most of their money and give them confidence in their financial futures. 

That’s why we say “we are all about you”.

Q&A with Nathan Moss

Nathan Moss, Chair of Wesleyan Board of Directors, gives an overview of how Wesleyan progressed in 2022 and tells us why mutuality works for customers and colleagues as well as members.

A sustainable mutual

Our approach is governed by our Sustainability Strategy which is approved by our Board of Directors. With Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) at its core, this strategy sets out our key sustainability principles:

  • Sustainability in our product offerings
  • Our infrastructure
  • How we invest our customers’ funds
  • Support and guidance for our colleagues and causes

Here for you at every stage of your life

Looking to create a brighter financial future? See how we can help you throughout your career and beyond.

We’re all about you

We’re dedicated to creating brighter financial futures for society’s most trusted professions. Through tailored guidance, our Specialist Financial Advisers from Wesleyan Financial Services are here to help.

Doctors

We're an Exclusive Financial Advice Provider of the RCGP (Royal College of General Practitioners) and also work with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). We can help you understand the NHS Pension Scheme, protect your income and more.

Dentists

We understand the dental profession and can support you, whether your needs are personal finance or practice related. Practice Plan, DPAS and Medenta are part of the Wesleyan Group and are market leaders in providing membership plans and business support.

Teachers

Designed to cater for the financial needs of the teaching profession, our expertise and experience, gained from working in conjunction with the NASUWT and other unions, enables us to assist you with everything from the Teachers’ Pension Scheme to retirement planning and investing.

Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs)

We have made our flagship With Profits Fund available to a wider customer base including through selected IFAs and via our website. This has helped to extend our reach in a way that supports our specialist financial advice model.

The mutual that gives more

Wesleyan Assurance's mutuality is an integral part of who we are and how we operate. We don’t have shareholders which means we can take a long-term view. It also means we can share our success and how we run our business with our members.

We thrive by staying true to the needs of the people who matter most - our members, our customers and colleagues, as well as to the communities in which we all live and work.

Our strategy

Wesleyan’s purpose is to create brighter financial futures for the professions we trust - doctors, dentists and teachers.

We aim to achieve this by delivering our strategy which will see us become a true lifelong partner to our customers, brilliant to do business with and leverage our mutuality with edge to provide added value for members, customers, and colleagues.

Our governance 

The Society aims to meet the highest standards of corporate governance. For all our customers and policyholders, the Board has chosen to adopt the UK Corporate Governance Code.
