Shared value - not just added value

Consumer outcomes are more important than ever and Optimiser is giving your clients more. Like lower premiums, richer rewards and reasons to stay engaged. And we've got the data to back it up:

And when members are engaged with the Vitality Programme, they're up to 47% less likely to lapse their plan, benefitting you, and your business 4.

All our Life plans have Vitality Select benefits as standard, but clients can pay a monthly fee to enjoy more benefits and rewards, we call this Vitality Plus.
