Allianz Partners USA announces the launch of Allyz® TravelSmart

New mobile app is an essential digital companion designed to assist travelers

RICHMOND, Va., June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Allianz Partners USA has announced the launch of the Allyz^® TravelSmart mobile app, a new digital platform providing travelers with trusted advice and expertise as well as easy access to a wide range of insurance benefits for Allianz Global Assistance customers. The launch of the mobile app is an important milestone in the expansion of Allianz Partners' digital platform, providing users with an essential array of travel services.

Free to download and use, the Allyz (pronounced "ah-leeze") TravelSmart app currently offers a number of travel-enhancing services with more capabilities coming later this year. This new and innovative mobile application replaces the award-winning Allianz TravelSmart^® app and will provide its users with new and improved features. 

The app currently provides a robust list of services for any traveler with additional functions available to Allianz Global Assistance customers. All travelers can take advantage of functions such as a geolocation-based hospital finder to locate the closest appropriate medical facility, a medical term translator, a medication dictionary, local emergency phone numbers, safety and security alerts to stay up to date on events that may impact a trip, and a trip organizer that provides simplified views of travel itineraries including airline flight tracking capabilities. Allianz Global Assistance policyholders also can use the app to manage their insurance plan and file a claim, access insurance and assistance FAQs as well as contact both Allianz Global Assistance 24/7 customer service and travel assistance with a single touch.

"The Allyz TravelSmart app has been designed to take much of the worry out of the travel experience and help our customers enjoy their travel experiences," said Begench Atayev, Head of Product Management and Innovation at Allianz Partners USA. "Designed to be an essential companion to our industry-leading travel and event ticket protection products, the app offers a robust suite of digital solutions so travelers can have an even more enjoyable trip. The app serves as a hub that puts insurance benefits, assistance services, safety features and more at customers' fingertips whenever and wherever they need them."

The digital platform on which the app is built also offers Allianz business partners the opportunity to enhance their offering to their customers with a varied array of products and services that they can integrate into their existing digital ecosystems.

Current users of the original Allianz TravelSmart^® mobile app will not need to download a new app as the current version has been automatically updated to the new Allyz Travelsmart app. New users can download the app from the Apple App Store or from Google Play. More information about the app can be found on the Allianz Travel Insurance website.
