Allianz Pension Partners

What Allianz Pension Partners does

Allianz Pension Partners GmbH is a Munich-based, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Lebensversicherungs-AG that operates as a bound insurance intermediary (versicherungsgebundener Vermittler) specializing in occupational pension provision (betriebliche Altersversorgung, bAV) and related employee benefits for German employers. Founded in 2005 as a distribution partner for the MetallRente pension scheme, the company has grown to approximately 90 specialists operating from nine regional offices across Germany (Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Karlsruhe, Köln, Nürnberg, Stuttgart), serving roughly 5,000 corporate clients and covering 265,000 employees.

The company's product portfolio spans occupational pensions (Direktversicherung, Pensionsfonds, Direktzusage), company health insurance (bKV), occupational disability insurance (BU), time accounts (Zeitwertkonten), and executive benefits. Underlying technology consists of digital self-service platforms including FirmenOnline (employer contract management), Meine Allianz Portal (employee self-service), an automated onboarding tool, online appointment booking, company-specific microsites, and the 2025-launched Allianz Plug-In Pension — a fully digital fund-based direct commitment co-developed with Allianz Global Investors and Lurse for mid-sized companies.

The business model is intermediation-driven: APP earns commissions on Allianz insurance products distributed to corporate clients (registered under §34d GewO) and fees on intermediated Allianz Global Investors funds (registered under §34f GewO). GTM combines regional field-sales consultants with an event-led content marketing engine (live webinars, Benefits-Report research, newsletter, LinkedIn, YouTube). Distribution is anchored by the premium MetallRente partnership (since 2005), which provides access to Germany's largest industry-wide occupational pension scheme for the metal and electrical sector. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
