‘Members come first’

Chief executive at LV=, David Hynam, said: “As a mutual, members come first. Since 2011, we’ve shared a total of £414m in member bonuses, of which £29m will be distributed to 280,000 eligible members as a result of our 2024 results.

“I am also pleased to highlight a positive year in terms of driving down operating expenses by 4%. Members will appreciate that we are not only returning profits to them in the form of the member bonus, but we are also running the business efficiently on their behalf.

“Our financial performance is a result of our forward-looking strategic approach and points to the significant benefit of our diversified portfolio, which includes award-winning products, services and advice.”
