Ami Insurance

Today AMI Insurance has begun a new era under the ownership of Australia and New Zealand’s largest insurance group IAG. At the same time, a government-owned company, Southern Response, based in Christchurch, has become responsible for settling all claims by AMI customers for earthquake damage which occurred prior to today. With the completion of the transactions, AMI’s 500,000 customers (including CLIC Car Insurance customers) have had their insurance cover transferred automatically to a new company, sold to IAG and trading under the AMI name, without having to take any action at all and their insurance cover will continue unchanged. AMI policyholders with earthquake-related claims are now customers of both the ’new AMI’ and Southern Response until their earthquake claim is settled.
