We’re making it easier for your clients to select their communication preferences

Last year we secured the email addresses and mobile phone numbers of new customers. While it may seem like a small detail, having more ways to reach your clients can make a big difference in our ability to provide excellent service and safeguard their contracts or policies.

As part of this ongoing effort, this year Allianz Life will be mailing a flyer to existing customers who have no email address on file, instructing them to register online on our secured website at www.allianzlife.com to provide their current email address/mobile phone and select their communication delivery preferences.

It’s quick and simple, and ensures we can continue to make a difference in our ability to reach your clients.

For questions, contact your Allianz representative.

Do your clients know what an annuity is?

Or why they might want to consider an annuity?
