We're here to help
If you’re worried about money or pensions, or if you or someone you know is experiencing financial or domestic abuse, we have people on hand to support you. You’ll find online resources on our Extra support page, or you can call us using the relevant number below.

Investing can be a great way to make money, but people may offer you fake investments. To keep your money safe, you need to be able to spot a scam. Visit our dedicated investment fraud page for information on what to look out for.
We’re here to provide support when you might need it. We can provide practical information on what to do if you need to let us know about a bereavement. Or our dedicated claims team are on hand if you need to make a claim on a policy.
