The applicant for credit must complete the form, not a third party (unless you are the managing agent, see question below).  You must be a UK resident or UK registered business and the applicant named must be the same as the bank account holder and the same legal entity 

You should choose the “Personal” form if the bank account used is a personal account. If the bank account is in your business/trading name, then you should choose the “Business” form. 

You’ll then need to know the legal status of your business.

Choose the “Business” form and from there you’ll have the option to choose sole trader.

You need to complete the application with your Managing Agent details. However, if payments are being made through the policyholder's bank account, then the policyholder must be the applicant. 

Please make sure you enter the policy number relating to your client’s policy in the appropriate field. If you don’t have the policy number, please complete the policyholder name in the “Policy reference” field.

In the “Applicant” field, please use the name of whichever Group company will be making the payments, so that the applicant name is the same as the bank account name and matches the policyholder.
Please contact your broker and request all policy numbers required to be included on the instalment application
Yes, your policies might have different start dates and we’ll need to set up your Credit Agreements independently.
If you have completed the online application form you’ll receive a confirmation email quoting a CIFW (Commercial Online Instalments Form Workflow) reference number. We’ll contact you again once your application has been processed. We aim to do this within seven working days.  If you filled in a paper application, you won’t receive a confirmation email.
Yes, all applications will be credit checked.
You should get in touch with your broker who will be able to help you with your payment options, but your premium will need to be paid in full.
We normally collect payment on the day the policy starts i.e. if it’s the 1st of the month then collections will be set at the 1st of each month.  However, you can choose a different day on the direct debit mandate. We’ll send you a Credit Agreement confirming the payment date once accepted.
If you change your cover and your payment changes too then we’ll send you a revised premium instalment plan statement . It will confirm any changes to your Direct Debit collection amount and will be sent to you at least a week prior to collection of the money.
Unfortunately, this option isn’t available through the online application process. Please contact Allianz Instalments by email at  creditapplication@allianz.co.uk  and we‘ll send you a form to complete and send back.
No, we can only accept payments from bank accounts based in the UK.
Contact your credit intermediary/broker in the first instance and they will then discuss your case with us.
You can apply after the start date but it may mean that any monthly payments which were due before you sent the application will be collected together in one initial instalment once the plan has been set up. 
Please call 0330 102 1820, option 2, to ask for an early settlement figure and arrange how you will make payment. We’ll then close your current agreement and if you need instalments in the future, you’ll need to reapply and this will be treated as a new application and be subject to the required acceptance criteria.
Unless you tell us otherwise, we’ll renew your instalment plan when you renew your policy and send you a new Credit Agreement with details of the premiums.
The amount to be paid is 10% of the total premium; however, Allianz reserves the right to request a higher advance payment, based on the result of any credit checks that may be undertaken.
We’ll send a letter letting you know when your advance payment is due, approximately ten days after receiving the application. Once this has been collected, you’ll receive your Credit Agreement giving details of future payments at least one week before the next payment date.

You’ll need to call 0330 1021820, option 2 with your CIFW number, which is quoted in your confirmation email.

If you have applied via a paper application, please call us and a member of the team will be able to help you. 

If you let our team know you wish to settle the advance payment of your agreement by card or by BACS then they’ll confirm the amount needed and advise how to make the payment.

Provided the advance payment clears and there is no problem with the direct debit set-up, you’ll receive your Credit Agreement giving details of future payments at least one week before the next payment date.

No, this is decided automatically.
Please refer to your credit intermediary/broker for confirmation.
If you pay for the advance payment by Direct Debit then the service charge is calculated on the total premium. If the advance payment is made by BACS or credit/debit card, the charge is calculated on the net balance.
Your credit intermediary/broker should provide you with a representative example and full details will be sent to you with your Credit Agreement.
