AAMI Customer Charter 2012
The AAMI Customer Charter, first introduced in 1996, makes 11 promises encompassing AAMI's commitment to always provide its customers with the highest standards of customer service. Failure to deliver on any of these promises results in a penalty payment.
In becoming an integral part of the company's operation, the AAMI Customer Charter has developed a position and reputation of its own. Since its inception, it has attracted widespread local and international acclaim.
AAMI has a customer base of over 3 million car insurance and home insurance policies, over 300,000 insurance claims in the year and millions of incoming telephone calls. In the sixteen years since its inception, the AAMI Customer Charter has become an international benchmark. The Charter has been recognised for its integrated delivery of business process development, top class customer service and the protection of consumer rights.
