Allianz launches Slick Cover car insurance
Slick Cover has been designed to provide digital-first car insurance. New managing general agent model enables innovative, lower-cost digital propositions for customers.
Allianz UK is providing more choice for UK motorists with the launch of a new digital-first insurance provider, ‘Slick Cover’.
It has been created as a managing general agent (MGA), allowing Allianz to quickly develop new digital propositions. Slick Cover went from being an idea to selling its first motor policy in just under six months.
The launch demonstrates Allianz UK's focus on delivering innovative, lower-cost digital insurance through modern technology.
Colm Holmes, CEO, Allianz UK, said:
“I challenged the team to do something different, think about our customers and what they would really want from a future-ready insurance product. "
“To go from an idea to selling a policy in six months is genuinely remarkable. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but this really shows that large organisations like Allianz can still be forward-thinking and agile, so I’m excited to see what comes next.”
The creation of Slick Cover was led by Darya Dara, Chief Executive Officer at Slick Cover:
“We’re very excited to launch Slick into the UK personal lines market and provide more choice to customers who are looking for great value cover for their car, and want quick access to their insurance information.
“Customers’ requirements are evolving fast and there is growing demand for making car insurance simpler to buy and easier to manage. Built as a fully digital platform, Slick is designed to be future-ready allowing rapid innovation, continuous improvement and the flexibility to adapt quickly as customers’ expectations and market conditions evolve.”
The key features
Slick Cover will be accessible at Slickcover.com and price comparison websites. It has a Defaqto 5-star rating and offers a simple customer experience, including a streamlined claims notification process.
It accepts payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay and includes a digital wallet giving policyholders access to policy information any time.
A QR code is available to report claims and share insurance details with other drivers if required. A telephone-based claims support team will also be available for policyholders when needed.
Ulf Lange, MD Personal Lines, Allianz UK, said:
“Slick Cover will form an important part of Allianz UK’s business and its launch highlights how we are using modern technology to make digital car insurance simpler, smarter, and more affordable.
“Its development is designed to provide customers with car insurance that is easy to manage and make claims. We’re excited by this move into the MGA space which demonstrates Allianz’s commitment to finding new and innovative ways to meet customers’ needs.”
