From your first mortgage to protecting everything you have built; we handle it all, so you do not have to piece it together yourself.
Whether you are buying your first home, moving, remortgaging or investing, we search hundreds of lenders to find the most suitable deal for your exact circumstances. No guesswork. No jargon.
What would happen to your family if you were no longer here? The right policy means they keep the home and keep going, whatever comes.
A serious diagnosis should not mean financial ruin. Critical illness cover pays a lump sum so you can clear your mortgage and give your family breathing room.
If illness stopped your income tomorrow, how long could you last? Income protection replaces up to 70% of your salary for as long as you cannot work, keeping your mortgage paid and your life on track.
“We make the process as easy as 1, 2, 3, for you.”

“Friendly Financial were exceptionally helpful in my partner and I buying our first home. They make the process straightforward and cut through the confusion in how things are explained. Nothing is ever an issue and any questions we had they answered well and in great time.”

“I have entrusted my business to Friendly Financial for 10+ years and they do a superb job. Billy looks after my portfolio while Conor keeps me informed of my expiration dates and is at the end of the telephone when I need any information. Highly recommend — they really are a friendly bunch.”
