AFCO Carrier Programs
Most P & C carriers offer installment terms for their policies. However, these can be expensive and time-consuming.
For these reasons, AFCO's Carrier programs effectively provide the administrative functions and funds the net premium directly to the carrier. The insured receives a low or no-cost finance agreement and is billed monthly or quarterly by AFCO.
Custom-Designed for Your Unique Business
AFCO Carrier Programs are specifically designed to address the unique needs and opportunities inherent to each insurer. The programs are infinitely flexible, and many aspects can be customized, including billing process and terms, your company's name prominently displayed on every piece of correspondence, management reports and more.
24/7 Online Account Access
AFCO provides you with on-line access to your accounts on its mainframe. You retain as little or as much customer contact as you wish. Our Account Status Reports system provides a quick review of the payment status of every account serviced. AFCO can even help your underwriters avoid problem accounts by underwriting the credit of an insured.
