Reassure

What Reassure does

ReAssure is a UK-based life and pension third-party administrator, headquartered in Telford and operating through three private limited companies (ReAssure Limited, ReAssure Life Limited and ReAssure UK Services Limited) registered in England and Wales. It sits within the Standard Life plc group, which is itself controlled by Phoenix Group, and administers a large book of legacy and in-force UK life, pension and investment policies originally issued by other providers, including Barclays Life and the Retirement Account, and policies transferred from Legal & General. Its product set spans individual pensions, group and workplace pensions (including auto-enrolment), annuities, flexible income and capped drawdown, whole-of-life and term assurance insurance, and investment products such as endowments and bonds, supported by a Fund Centre with daily prices and a Retirement Planning Toolkit. Customers access services via the ReAssure Now customer portal and a separate ReAssure Now portal for financial advisers, with secure messaging, fund breakdowns and FCA-compliant projection views.

The underlying technology is the ALPHA policy administration platform, which is currently being modernised under a 10-year, $650 million (£500 million) outsourcing agreement signed with Wipro in March 2025. The modernisation scope includes policy administration, claims processing, customer support, data management, compliance and reporting, using AI, automation, cloud computing and digital transformation technologies delivered through Wipro's subsidiary WFOSL. ReAssure is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the FCA, is a member of the Association of British Insurers, and policyholders benefit from FSCS protection on qualifying products.

ReAssure's revenue model is dominated by managed services — long-term third-party administration agreements and ongoing policy management fees on administered books. Customer acquisition is split between direct-to-consumer engagement via the online portal, B2B relationships with financial advisers and scheme trustees, and referral partnerships for annuity products with LV= and Legal & General. In January 2025, ReAssure narrowed its operating perimeter by transferring policies originated in Sweden, Norway and Germany to Phoenix Life Assurance Europe dac (PLAE) in Ireland, also part of Standard Life plc, leaving the UK as the sole served market. Revenue is not separately disclosed; the Wipro contract is structured as a 10-year outsourcing engagement rather than a transactional annual license, and pricing for individual and group pension and insurance products is quote-based and negotiated per policy.
