28 Feb 2025 Allianz Australia Insurance Limited; AWP Australia Pty LtdAllianz and AWP: criminal fines of AUD 16.8m over misleading travel insurance information €10m
Between 2016 and 2018 Allianz Australia and AWP, the company marketing and administering travel insurance on Allianz’s behalf, published online information on travel insurance that stated maximum benefits without adequately pointing out sub-limits, conditions and exclusions. The Court convicted Allianz on six counts at AUD 2.25 million each (AUD 13.5 million) and AWP on one count at AUD 3.3 million, in each case after a 25% discount for early guilty pleas. 781 customers had previously received compensation totalling AUD 1,264,864.
Saving on the legal review of web content can cost many times more in fines and compensation; product advertising needs a mandatory sign-off.
