It was founded in 1877 by the organisation that became the National Union of Teachers (NUT) as a mutual friendly society. It provided sick pay, annuities and endowments before teachers received help from the Government towards finances or pensions.
It aimed to provide simple and affordable savings and protection schemes to help ensure teachers had more financial security and lived better lives, both while working and in retirement. It maintained strong relations with the NUT throughout its existence.
Following the vote in favour of transfer to LV= by Teachers Assurance members at the Special General Meeting in December 2015 and the agreement of the regulators, Teachers Assurance business was transferred to LV= on 1st June 2016.
"Over the years, thousands of NUT members and their families have enjoyed the benefits of saving with this well-respected organisation. I have no hesitation in recommending Teachers Assurance. If you’re looking for the ideal savings and investment product, the information they offer is well worth looking at" Christine Blower

Supply/Contract Teacher
It is often more difficult to secure a mortgage if you are working on a contract basis as many mortgage lenders will view your job as non-permanent. If you're a supply teacher looking to secure a mortgage either on your own or jointly, our Supply Teacher Mortgage could be for you.
Retired Teacher
As the only building society founded to support teachers, we have developed a wide range of mortgage options to support you throughout each stage of your teaching career.
