Catholic Insurance Service

Catholic Insurance Service Ltd is an insurance intermediary that arranges and administers the CIS insurance scheme, covering employers' and public liability, property, legal expenses, travel and liability for Catholic organisations. Where cover is not available through the scheme, it arranges other risks such as motor fleet and engineering inspection, or gives risk management advice. It also offers legal advice through an in-house solicitor and health and safety support through external partners.

Its clients are Catholic dioceses, large religious orders, charities and voluntary aided schools in England, Wales and Scotland. It is the only means by which these organisations can access cover from Catholic National Mutual Ltd (CNM), a mutual insurer based in Guernsey and licensed and regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. The company also operates a healthcare trust that provides private healthcare to its clients. Its shareholders are the Catholic Bishops' Conferences of England & Wales and of Scotland.

The company was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Thame, United Kingdom. Its origins go back to an insurance advisory body established by the two Bishops' Conferences in 1975, which was incorporated as Catholic Insurance Service Ltd on 1 September 2017. The website publishes content in English only.
