YOU ASKED FOR IT!
Paying insurance premiums is not at the top of the list
of favorite ways to
spend money! So, it should be made as painless as possible. Patrons
“
Easy Pay” is now a reality, and insureds have a myriad of payment options
available to them.
First and foremost, Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) is now available.
We worked a long time on this option to be sure it was right, and it
has it all – easy sign-up, a true monthly 12 pay option, and best
of all, no installment fees! And even better, no downpayment required!!
If EFT is not your choice, you may sign up for E-Bill to receive and
pay your bill online. With this option, you may pay on the date of your
choice, or use AutoPay to pay on the due date. There are no online processing
fees, and installment fees are reduced. Available installment plans are
1, 2, 4, or 9 payments. With this method, no bills are received in the
mail.
For last minute payments online, credit or debit cards and E-checks
may be used, with no online fees (regular installment fees apply). 1,
2, 4 and 9 pay options are available. And security is not an issue, as
no information is stored.
Finally, for those not into “Online”, payments may be made
by phone, using a toll-free number and a credit or debit card, or E-Check.
This method has the option of not storing any information, or a PIN#
may be used to store payment information for future use. Pay By Phone
is likewise a 1, 2, 4, or 9 Pay Plan, and regular installment fees apply.
I think we’ve covered all the possibilities, except not paying
at all!
You asked for it, and we think it will be a big plus in marketing “PATRONS”!
