Insurance Premium Collection Platform

Collect premium by card and ACH, request payment from agents, and let an agent request payment from the insured. Aligned with reconciliation and compliance workflows.

Premium collection is the foundation of insurance payment workflows. CoverPay collects premium across card, ACH and financing while keeping compliance, allocation and reconciliation under your control. It also carries collection past the agent, which is where premium usually stalls.

What Premium Collection Requires in Insurance

Insurance premium collection is not a simple transaction.

It must handle:

These requirements make premium collection a system-level function.

Policy-linked payments
Allocation across premium, commissions, and fees

Request Payment from Insured

Premium collection can slow down after the request leaves your office, while the agent waits on the insured.

You send the payment request to the agent. The agent can pay now, or request payment from the insured. CoverPay then sends that specific payment request on to the insured, who enters their own card or ACH information and pays securely. The premium is collected and you see it settle.

No CoverPay subscription or separate payment setup for your agents. They use it through the payment experience you already send them.

An MGA or wholesaler sends the payment request to the agent. The agent can pay now, or request payment from the insured, who then pays securely by card or ACH. Either way the premium is collected.

No card details by phone

The insured enters their own payment details, so the agent does not need to handle them.

No waiting on a check

The insured can pay electronically instead of sending a check.

No fronting the premium

The agent does not need to pay you first and collect from the insured afterwards.

No separate agent signup

No CoverPay subscription and no separate payment setup.

The insured receives a secure CoverPay payment page tied to the request from their insurance agency. CoverPay processes the payment for the premium.
