FIRST Insurance Funding of Canada and ClearPay exclusive partners in payment transfers

Reliability ∙ Growth ∙ Innovation

TORONTO, May 31, 2017 – FIRST Insurance Funding of Canada (FIRST Canada), the leader in payment solutions, has been selected by ClearPay as an exclusive partner for brokers to streamline payments.

“FIRST Canada is part of the largest premium finance company in North America, so it made sense they were our first choice partner to maximize our brokers benefits,” said John Knotek, CEO of ClearPay.

Through this strategic partnership, brokers are able to remit funds with remittance data for easier payment and reconciliation. This eliminates the issues of lost or stolen cheques, cheque fraud and the expense of mailing cheques. Brokers will be able to securely send funds and statements online and on time.  

“We are known for our innovative payment solutions, so partnering with ClearPay was an ideal opportunity,” said Stuart Bruce, CEO of FIRST Canada. “Now, our broker partners can also take advantage of ClearPay’s benefits.”

Whether it’s down payments, returned/missed payments or NSF replacements, brokers can securely provide these payments to FIRST Canada along with the remittance data. No technical work is required on behalf of the brokerage. Those not already using ClearPay and wishing to take advantage of this secure and efficient process simply need to contact ClearPay to get started.
