Shepherds Friendly Recensioni 

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. 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 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

Very easy and efficient opening of new isa account

really easy to setup much better options than a lot of over 50,s plans.
recived documents etc really quickly would recomend to anyone to use.

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

There a scam payed me out before recievieing medical records and found something dated to an complete issue an now they are trying to ask for the payments back after mis-selling the policy and leaving me in a financial and mental absolute piss poor would not recommend these low ballers, due this it is forcing me back to work 2 months early against doctors orders

Thanks shepherd friendly assholes

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.

Great app and good place to invest.

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

One of the easiest set-ups for an ISA product I've ever encountered, quick to answer a query on the phone - all round great customer service.

Easy to open my account and amazing to receive my bonus really unexpected but a fantastic gesture.

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.

I am a new member but even so I’ve found everything very easy and look forward to the future with investing

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.

Simple and straightforward to set up my ISA

The process was simple and the offer is attractive.
