Iain Clark, British Friendly CEO, said: “With Mutual Benefits, we are offering our members a relevant and easily accessible range of practical benefits to complement their main income protection policy.

“As a mutual income protection insurer, we believe it is important for us to support our members in times of need, whether they are claiming on their policy or not. The benefits which we are providing through Square Health do this by helping them get a quicker diagnosis and treatment through a simple to use and efficient app which leverages state of the art technology.”

Dr Bippon Vinayak, CEO of Square Health said: “The Health Support Points system is a unique concept in the protection market and we are delighted to have launched the app to make these important health services easier to access than ever.

“The app technology allows us to offer a range of relevant services to British Friendly members that means they can engage regularly with their policy and see value during their everyday life rather than only when they claim.”
