Who We Are

GMBProtect – Working for Working Families

GMBProtect is a trading name of Union Income Benefit (UIB). We aim to provide working people and their families with access to greater financial security through insurance policies that protect against the financial impact of major life traumas.

So far more than 2.5 million trade union members have benefited from our products and years of experience. Our UK-based operation is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and our commitment to the training and development of our staff has been recognised by Investors in People since 2002.

At UIB we’re determined to offer customers the highest possible standards of services. We take pride in our clear information about the products and services we offer and, including fees and charges, and encourage you to ask if there’s something you don’t understand.
