New Allianz Underwriting Risk-Class Upgrade Program

Allianz's first-ever Risk-Class Upgrade Underwriting Program is now available. This program applies to Allianz Life Pro+ Advantage issues policies that meet eligibility requirements including Premium Finance and Foreign Nationals business.

 

Now available: Save Age feature for digital applications

You now have the option to backdate the policy effective dates in order to receive lower insurance rates for your clients. This option allows you to backdate life insurance policies by as much as six months* from the date the application is signed in order to offer insurance based on the nearest age of your client.

It locks in the price of the policy at a younger age by paying extra upfront with the first premium. By taking advantage of this feature and using a younger insurance age, your clients will pay extra premium up front resulting in considerable overall savings over the life of their policies.

*Based on individual state regulations.
