What Allianz Partners does
Allianz Partners is a global B2B2C insurance and assistance provider operating across 75+ countries as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE. Headquartered near Paris in Saint-Ouen, France, the company employs more than 22,600 people and generated over €10 billion in total revenues in 2024 — the highest figure in its history — with operating profit of €333.5 million (up 10.7% year over year). Allianz Partners was originally established in 1997 as Allianz Global Assistance and rebranded to its current name in 2023 when Allianz Global Benefits GmbH was folded in. The business is organized around five product ecosystems — Travel, Health, Mobility, Home & Living, and Mobile Device & Digital Risk — anchored by the Allyz digital travel companion platform, the Emma AI-enabled telehealth solution, and a 24/7 global service infrastructure handling 95.4 million cases annually in 70 languages across 900,000+ committed professionals and 1.9 million medical providers.
Core technology is a B2B2C insurance and assistance platform combining digital distribution, AI-driven claims and customer service tools, and a global 24/7 operational backbone. Differentiated features include the Allyz app (medical translations, scam detection, geolocation-based hospital finder, digital identity protection, and a 250% YoY download growth between 2024 and 2025), Emma's generative-AI telehealth journeys, AI-driven claims automation, the DataLab consumer intelligence function, and embedded-insurance APIs deployed with partners such as Alaska Airlines (SmartBenefits automatic flight-disruption payments), Iute Group (Myiute superapp), bolttech (Asia telecom distribution), and Cruisebound (cruise-platform protection).
Allianz Partners monetizes primarily through insurance premiums on travel, health, mobility, and home products distributed via partners and direct-to-consumer channels, plus assistance service fees billed to partners and insurance counterparties. The GTM is a hybrid B2B2C model — heavy embedded distribution through airlines, banks, travel agencies, loyalty programs, and affinity groups (95% partner renewal rate) — combined with direct digital sales through the Allyz app, redesigned online purchasing flows, and the recently acquired Travel Insurance Direct offline channel. Customers include Iberia (20-year partnership), Alaska Airlines, ANZ Bank, Chery International, BYD, Cruisebound, Norwegian Cruise Line, Iute Group, Hood Group, and Uber; primary end-customer segments are individual travelers, expatriates/digital nomads, international workers and graduates, corporate/enterprise benefit buyers, banking and financial institution customers, automotive manufacturers, and event attendees.
