TISA

Supporting the financial journey through life

The Investing and Saving Alliance’s (TISA) ambition is to improve the financial wellbeing of all UK consumers by working collectively with the financial services industry to deliver solutions and champion innovation, for the benefit of people, our industry, and the nation.

We do this by working with our member firms to deliver practical solutions and devise innovative, evidence-based strategic proposals for government, policy makers and regulators that address major consumer issues. ​

TISA is a not-for-profit membership organisation and a trusted partner of key industry stakeholders in helping shape the future of the UK financial services and the environment in which we operate. We have approximately 260 member firms involved in the supply and distribution of savings, investment products and associated services. Our members include the UK’s major investment managers, retail banks, online platforms, insurance companies, pension providers, distributors, building societies, wealth managers, third party administrators, FinTechs, financial consultants, financial advisers, industry infrastructure providers and stockbrokers.
