Our partnership with Zurich Australia launched in April 2021. With a leading global insurance company behind our product, My Protection Plan, mortgage brokers can be confident in ALI’s risk solution offering for their clients.
We’ve chosen to partner with Zurich because they have the technical expertise, resources and willingness to collaborate with us to develop better solutions that meet the needs of Australian home and property buyers.
About Zurich Australia
Zurich Australia is the Australian arm of Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich) - a leading multi-line insurer that serves its customers in global and local markets.
Zurich was founded in the city of Zurich, Switzerland in 1872, where their headquarters remain today. Since then they have applied their expertise and experience to ensuring their customers have the very best protection for the things they value. That is their mission and is at the heart of everything they do.
Their Australian story dates back to 1920, when the Commonwealth General Assurance Corporation Ltd (CGA) was incorporated in New South Wales. In 1961, CGA became part of the Zurich Insurance Group. Since then the Australian business has grown significantly, employing more than 1,000 people across Australia and New Zealand who share a commitment to always placing customers' needs at the heart of business.
On 1 June 2019 ANZ’s life and consumer credit insurance business (OnePath Life) was formally acquired by Zurich Australia. This created one of Australia’s largest life insurers, with a combined Australian heritage of more than 200 years, serving more than two million customers and paying more than $1 billion per annum in claims.
