Allianz Direct, the digital insurance subsidiary of Allianz, is partnering with financial services company ING Group in the Netherlands.

As part of the partnership, companies and entrepreneurs, from sole traders to small- and medium enterprises, will have access to a wide range of Allianz Direct business insurance products.

From mid-2024, Dutch customers will be able to purchase auto, van and corporate and professional liability insurance directly from ING.

“The partnership with ING marks a huge step in our journey to make our Allianz Direct products and services available to a wider audience across Europe. With ING, the leading digital bank in the Netherlands, we have found a strong strategic partner to make this happen. Together we strive to offer the most competitive digital solution, with first-class products, competitive rates, an excellent customer experience and leading technological capabilities.” – Philipp Kroetz, CEO of Allianz Direct.

“We are ready to contribute to this new partnership with our expertise in SME products and services. Our teams are happy to take on the challenge of developing an ’execution only’ insurance proposition in the bancassurance channel. The cooperation with ING will strengthen Allianz’s market approach in the small business segment in the Netherlands.” – Joos Louwerier, CEO of Allianz Benelux.

“As an entrepreneur you want to spend as much time as possible running your company, with your risks carefully covered. The collaboration with Allianz Direct enables us to offer entrepreneurs high-quality insurances at a competitive price, against good conditions. This way our customers can do business without worries, while being more financially resilient in the event of a setback.” – Laurens de Vos, head of Business Banking at ING in the Netherlands.
