LV= Membership

As a mutual we are owned by our members

Membership matters

Mutuals and plc’s are similar because they both exist to create value for their owners. The difference is how owners are distinguished. Ownership of a plc is defined by having shares in the company. Because we're a mutual ownership is defined by being a member, rather than a shareholder.

If a customer has a life insurance, protection, investment or retirement policy with us they automatically become a member and are entitled to a range of member benefits. Membership can’t be traded like shares so someone will continue to be a member until their member qualifying policy ends.
