Policy Works® and FIRST Insurance Funding of Canada expand their integrated payment solutions

TORONTO, August 16, 2017 – FIRST Insurance Funding of Canada (FIRST Canada), the industry leader in insurance payment solutions and Policy Works®, the leading vendor of commercial lines software, are pleased to announce they have expanded the capabilities of their integrated payment solutions.

“Based on positive broker feedback, we increased the customization available to brokers for their clients’ payment options from within the Policy Works® platform,” said Stuart Bruce, CEO of FIRST Insurance Funding of Canada. “Providing these unique payment options increases close ratios, improves retention and gives brokers a competitive advantage by enhancing the value of their insurance offering, while respecting their current workflow.”

Expanding on the integration that launched in November 2016, Policy Works® brokers can now customize their FIRST Canada payment options for their commercial insurance clients, directly from Policy Works®. Now, they can also customize quotes with even more data such as select pricing programs, broker fees and contacts. Brokers can enhance their clients’ experience by providing them with customized and automated payment options at point-of-sale, along with their insurance policy. This integration streamlines brokers’ workflows and assists them in closing business faster.

“Our goal is to help our broker customers grow their commercial portfolio,” said Kevin Campbell, CEO of Policy Works®. “We’re very excited about the potential of our improved functionality between FIRST Canada and Policy Works.”
