ClearPay 4 Step Process to Send Payments:

  1. Submit Payment from BMS
  2. Notification and approval process
  3. Posted to ClearPay™, Reconciliation Report to carrier
  4. Carrier Receives Payment and Account Summary

The current process of settling monthly agency bill accounts and one-time payments (midterm policy changes, NSFs on direct bill business) is antiquated and overly complex.  Carriers currently invoice amounts that may differ from that in a brokerage’s BMS, the payment process is not secure, is heavily paper based and takes away value from the operations of brokerages, MGA’s and carriers.

How is ClearPay different?  Payments via ClearPay to the carrier are initiated by brokerages within their BMS in the same manner as is done now to issue a cheque.  Payment schedule is then established by ClearPay and policy reconciliation data is remitted to the carrier.  ClearPay works within Canadian Banking protocols and is compliant with all insurance regulatory authorities in transferring funds directly from the brokerage’s to the carriers account.
