John Lewis

John Lewis is one of Britain's best known high street brands. It offers, through various providers, a range of financial products and a broadband service.

John Lewis was founded in 1864 in London, where it is still headquartered. It is a partnership, which means that it is owned by its employees rather than by private shareholders.

John Lewis issues a branded credit card, backed by HSBC, called the 'Partnership card'. When you spend you can earn Partnership points, which can be turned into John Lewis and Waitrose gift vouchers.

In the car insurance sector, John Lewis acts as a broker. Its policies are underwritten by Covea.

John Lewis home insurance is also underwritten by Covea.

John Lewis pet insurance is underwritten by Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance plc (RSA).

John Lewis broadband is provided by Plusnet.
