Our history

Two longstanding mutuals with similar values – Engage Mutual and Family Investments – merged in 2014 to become OneFamily.

Our heritage

Collectively, we’ve always had one simple aim – to listen to our customers’ needs and support them through their financial lives, with a clear purpose of creating and protecting value and providing products and services they can trust.

From our award-winning, simple-to-understand products designed for modern families to championing education and financial resilience for our members, we are proud of our mutual heritage over the past 49 years.
