Allianz creates financial lines claims team in D&O and PI push with brokers
Allianz has created an in-house financial lines claims team covering mid-corp and SME firms, focusing on directors & officers and professional indemnity business.
The move has followed on from forming a financial lines team focusing solely on D&O and PI last May, when Allianz set out “ambitious plans for growth” with brokers.
The team is in addition to its existing offering handling financial lines claims for large-corp and specialty segments.
According to the insurer, the new Milton Keynes-based unit has been built to make sure brokers and customers are “seamlessly supported”.
