Allianz Partners Named to Newsweek's Best Customer Service 2021 List

RICHMOND, VA, November 16, 2020 — Allianz Partners has been included on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Customer Service Companies 2021 in the “Travel Insurance” category. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was published on October 14, 2020, and can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.

America’s Best Customer Service brands were selected based on an independent survey from a vast sample of more than 25,000 U.S. customers who have either made purchases, used services, or gathered information about products or services in the past three years. Customers were asked whether they would recommend brands to friends or family, as well as assess brands in the following areas: quality of communication, professional competence, range of services, customer focus, and accessibility. A total of 160,000 customer evaluations were collected.

The results provided information about brick & mortar, online retailers, and service providers from 160 categories. Based on the results of the study, Allianz Partners is ecstatic to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Customer Service 2021.

“This award is a testament to our staff’s ongoing commitment and dedication to our customers,” said Daniel Durazo, Director of Marketing and Communications at Allianz Partners USA. “Outstanding customer service is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re very proud to be included in this prestigious list.”
