Allianz UK has signed a five-year partnership with Ticker, a managing general agent specialising in connected motor insurance, the companies announced today.
Under the agreement, Allianz will provide underwriting and claims support across Ticker’s product portfolio from November 1, 2025. The partnership covers insurance for young drivers, older drivers, van drivers, motorists with convictions, and low-mileage drivers through a pay-per-mile product.
The deal combines Allianz UK’s underwriting and claims-handling capabilities with Ticker’s pricing and data science expertise, including its use of connected data in pricing, fraud detection, driving behaviour analysis, and claims.
According to a news release, the partnership represents a significant step in Allianz UK’s strategy to expand its presence in the UK retail insurance sector by broadening its distribution footprint across multiple channels. The announcement follows recent partnership wins with Volkswagen Financial Services UK and an agreement to offer replacement home and motor insurance policies to Sainsbury’s Bank customers.
Both organisations said they will work together to promote safer roads, with telematics playing a role in encouraging safer driving. Ticker has been described to be focused on reducing serious accidents involving young drivers.
“We are delighted to have agreed a new partnership with Ticker, which combines the expertise of two strong teams. It underlines the strength of Allianz’s underwriting and claims-handling capabilities and the strides we’ve made in the UK market over the past year,” said Serge Raffard, managing director for personal lines at Allianz.
“We are continually evolving our offering and expanding our footprint to create seamless and high-quality customer experiences as we seek to reach new customers.”
Richard King, founder and chief executive of Ticker, added: “This agreement with Allianz is a major milestone for Ticker. Their long-term commitment provides both capital strength and strategic support, enabling us to scale faster while continuing to invest in our data and AI capabilities. With Allianz’s backing, we can accelerate our expansion, keep innovating, and make a real difference to road safety – especially for young and older drivers.”
