Allianz Turkey acquired YKS insurance to become a market leader in Turkey. However, YKS's old customer journey was inefficient, with customers facing long wait times. The recommended strategies were to reduce response times using a mobile app, tie up with partners having multiple customer touchpoints, and streamline activities using blockchain. The new customer journey focused on getting customers assistance within an hour ("Golden Hour") of an accident through GPS and information sharing with hospitals.

Partnered with Koc and formed Koc Allianz Group
Later purchased Koc’s share and formed Allianz Turkey
Later acquired YKS and made it a market leader
Competitive Environment
A no of foreign players entered through acquisition
Fierce competition led to price wars which eroded
profitability
High growth segment like motor insurance were not
profitable
