Beyond Bank provides a range of insurance products, including motor, home, contents, and travel insurance, to help members protect their assets and personal wellbeing. These insurance policies are underwritten by Allianz Australia Insurance Limited. When you arrange insurance through Beyond Bank, the bank acts as an agent for the insurer, meaning you receive the backing of Allianz’s underwriting and claims management processes.
Because the bank receives a commission for arranging these policies, it is important to review the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to understand exactly what is covered and what is excluded. Before deciding on a policy, you should consider whether the features align with your specific financial situation and needs, as the bank does not provide personal financial advice regarding these products.

3. Application Lockouts
