Prudential Bank
Mortgage Providers
Prudential was founded in London in 1848 and established itself as a leading insurance provider using 1000s of agents who would visit homeowners at their homes to discuss a variety of financial services.
Prudential started to offer loans secured by life assurance and then developed to offer insurance policies to the working classes. They built a reputation for trust, security and value for money as they were famous for their penny premiums.
Products Introduced
- 1848 - Loans secured by life assurance policy
- Late 19th Century - Penny premium working life insurance policies
