Why Premium Financing & Payments

The only platform where premium financing is native — not bolted on. Built into the same checkout where insureds pay and sign.

Grow revenue without growing work

When financing is built into checkout, it becomes the default. With competitive rates and zero friction, agencies see adoption go up without adding work.

Your team manages one workflow

Every payment method and financing agreement available in a single flow. Insureds choose to pay in full or finance at the point of offer, and your team doesn't manage a separate process for each.

Close the loop with your books

Every cleared payment and originated loan are matched to an invoice and posted back to supported AMS platforms. Accounting begins where collection ends with no manual handoff.

Fewer outstanding balances

Autopay enrollment at checkout means fewer missed payments and less manual follow-up. When 90% of insureds enroll, collections stop being a chore.
