Consumers in Vulnerable Circumstances

Supporting Customers Who May Need Extra Help

Acorn Life know that anyone can experience vulnerability at any stage of life. Your circumstances, health, finances, or personal situation may sometimes make it harder to engage with financial products or services. When this happens, we are here to support you.

What We Mean by ‘Vulnerability’

A customer may be vulnerable if their ability to make decisions, understand information, or manage their financial needs is affected by factors such as:

  • Physical or mental health conditions
  • Hearing, visual or speech impairments
  • Reduced understanding of financial or insurance information
  • Major life events (for example: bereavement, illness, job loss, or relationship breakdown)
  • Financial difficulty or stress
  • Language barriers or communication difficulties
  • Age-related factors

These circumstances may be temporary, long-term, or permanent. You do not need to share personal details unless you wish to.
