Allianz UK announces new five-year deal with motor MGA

Allianz UK has expanded its UK retail insurance market presence as it secured a new partnership with MGA Ticker.

The five-year deal will see Allianz provide underwriting and claims support as an integrated service across Ticker’s portfolio of products from 1 November 2025.

These include products for young drivers, older drivers, van drivers, drivers with convictions and low-mileage motorists through its pay-per-mile product.

”The agreement combines the strengths of Allianz UK’s underwriting and claims handling capabilities with Ticker’s in-house pricing and data science expertise and its use of connected data in pricing, fraud, driving behaviour and claims,” a statement said.

Richard King, founder and chief executive at 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.”

Allianz expansion

The deal follows Allianz‘s recent partnership with Volkswagen Financial Services UK and the insurer’s agreement to offer replacement home and motor insurance policies to Sainsbury’s Bank customers.

Allianz said the latest deal was a “significant step” in its strategy to expand in the UK retail insurance sector, broadening its distribution footprint across multiple channels.

Serge Raffard, managing director for personal lines at Allianz, said: “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.

“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. This new partnership will generate profitable growth and expand our business in one of the most challenging areas of motor insurance.”
