What UniCredit Allianz Vita - Gruppo Allianz does

UniCredit Allianz Vita (now UniCredit Vita Assicurazioni S.p.A.) is an Italian life insurance company founded in 1995 as CreditRas Vita, a joint venture between Credito Italiano and RAS. From 2007 it operated within the Allianz Group following the merger of RAS, Lloyd Adriatico and Allianz Subalpina, and in 2022 rebranded to UniCredit Allianz Vita to reflect its dual heritage. On June 20, 2025, UniCredit S.p.A. acquired 100% of the share capital, ending the joint venture and making the entity a wholly-owned UniCredit subsidiary under direction and coordination of the UniCredit Group. A planned merger by incorporation into UniCredit Life Insurance S.p.A. is scheduled for November 3, 2026.

The company operates exclusively through bancassurance distribution, selling life insurance, investment, and pension products via UniCredit bank branches, with post-sale servicing also handled through FinecoBank and UniCredit Leasing. Its product portfolio spans three pillars: investment and savings (multi-branch products such as Mixa Selection and Mixa Protection Plus, unit-linked funds, and 11 separate accounts including R+R, Futuroro, and UniCredit Cap), pension products (UniCredit Previdenza PIP and UniCredit Fondo Pensione Aperto), and protection products (mortgage and loan protection, temporary death insurance). The Mixa Selection product offers access to over 40 external asset management houses including Amundi, BlackRock, JPMorgan, PIMCO, and Morgan Stanley.

The business model is built on recurring insurance premiums and asset-based management fees on separate accounts and unit-linked funds, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer segments include UniCredit banking customers, high-net-worth and private banking clients, and pension/retirement savers. The company is regulated by IVASS (Albo n. 1.00121), reports under Solvency II SFCR, and complies with EU sustainability disclosure regulations. It is headquartered in Milan with 31 registered employees, reflecting a captive distribution model that leverages UniCredit's branch network rather than building an independent salesforce.
