Short-Term Income Protection

We're working with Cardif Pinnacle to bring you Lifestyle Protector, which could give you peace of mind if you couldn't work due to an accident, sickness or being made unemployed.

It's a Short-Term Income Protection insurance policy that may cover your monthly outgoings if you were unable to work - including your mortgage, credit card and loan payments, as well as bills and other regular expenses.

This means you don't have to set up separate insurances – just one tailored policy. Simple.

Lifestyle Protector is sold, underwritten and administered by Cardif Pinnacle. Chelsea Building Society only offer an introduction to Cardif Pinnacle to new and existing mortgage customers.
