ALLIANZ, firm to provide insurance solution

- From Sunday Michael Ogwu, Lagos

Allianz Nigeria Insurance Plc, a local arm of the global Insurance giant, Allianz Group, said it is partnering with Get It Done Now Limited (GIDN), a mobile platform, to provide insurance products to registered customers and service providers.

Walter Bossman, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer at Allianz Nigeria said, through the partnershi­p, “We contribute our own quota to a stable and viable economy by providing bespoke Insurance products to mitigate business risks of the registered service providers.”

Unit Head, Infrastruc­ture Technology at Allianz Nigeria, Dapo Odunuga, said: “Digital transforma­tion has moved from being a vague and futuristic concept to an immediate term action especially in this unpreceden­ted time. Insurance is gradually moving away from the convention­al method of physical sales to technology driven sales.”

He said in view of the new normal imposed by COVID-19 and the strategic vision of Allianz to secure the future of its stakeholde­rs, the initiative provides another avenue for customers, service providers and the general public to buy insurance solutions with their mobile phones.

Co-founder of GIDN, Alberto Rodriguez, said: “This partnershi­p aligns with our goal of providing a safe and secure platform for users and providers to transact.

“We also believe that adding Insurance services from Allianz to our platform is a great way to build trust among customers while adding credibilit­y to the small business owners.”
