London, UK, 19 January 2026 – Wrisk Limited (“Wrisk”), the digital insurance platform specialising in embedded insurance for the automotive sector, today announced that Allianz Holdings plc (“Allianz”) has invested in the company as part of its recently announced Series B funding round, which was led by Alma Mundi Ventures and Opera Tech Ventures.
The investment sees Allianz join the list of other strategic shareholders who invested in Wrisk in earlier rounds, and it further strengthens Wrisk’s position as a trusted partner to automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The backing of a global insurer of Allianz’s scale highlights the growing importance of closer collaboration between insurers and embedded insurance platforms, as OEMs seek more integrated and data-driven insurance solutions.
The investment from Allianz – who have been Wrisk’s primary underwriter for almost 10 years – is particularly significant for Wrisk’s expanding OEM client base, several of whom are looking to build deeper and more strategic relationships with a smaller number of insurer partners. Wrisk’s proximity to OEMs, combined with its platform and data capabilities, enables Wrisk and its insurer partners to develop competitive advantages in areas such as data enrichment, risk selection, and pricing.
Wrisk brings together real-time insights from insurance, vehicle, financial, and behavioural data to support smarter decision-making across pricing, claims, and customer engagement. At the core of the platform is Wrisk’s proprietary embedded data framework, developed specifically for automotive OEMs to harmonise inputs from connected car systems, telematics, transactional records, and customer interactions. This foundation enables scalable intelligence, powered by machine learning models that evolve alongside advances in vehicle technology, changing customer behaviour, and shifting market dynamics.
The Series B funding, including Allianz’s participation, will support Wrisk’s international expansion and continued investment in its data science and data insights capabilities, as the company scales its platform and deepens partnerships across the automotive and insurance ecosystems.
Nimeshh Patel, CEO of Wrisk, said:
“Allianz’s investment is a strong endorsement of Wrisk’s strategy and our role in helping insurers and OEMs work more closely together. As OEMs increasingly look for fewer, more strategic insurance partners, our ability to combine deep OEM relationships with sophisticated data and technology becomes ever more important. We are delighted to welcome Allianz as a shareholder and look forward to deepening our long-term partnership.”
Ulf Lange, Managing Director, Personal Lines, at Allianz UK, said:
“Wrisk has built a compelling platform at the intersection of insurance, data, and the automotive sector. Its close relationships with OEMs and focus on data-driven insurance solutions align closely with Allianz’s strategic priorities, and we are pleased to support Wrisk as it continues to scale its business and capabilities.”
