Hello mum, we’re Polly. Since launching in 2015, we’ve helped more than 750,000 UK mums protect their families’ futures by taking out affordable life insurance. Let’s talk about the bad thing for a moment. Hmm, yes we know – dying’s not our favourite topic of conversation either. But sadly, death is a fact of life and comes to us all at some point. And the tragic reality is that it sometimes happens much sooner than expected. That’s why we launched Polly. Every 22 minutes a child in the UK loses a parent they depend on financially. But despite this over 12% of UK Mums still have no life insurance to protect their family if the worst happened.

Brilliant
I had a really positive experience with Polly Life Insurance, particularly with Mike, who handled my call.
Mike Mccarthy was extremely friendly, professional and patient throughout the whole conversation. He explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions and made what can normally be quite a stressful process feel straightforward and easy.
It was refreshing to speak to someone who genuinely took the time to listen and make sure I understood everything before proceeding. Excellent customer service from start to finish — thank you, Mike!
