Policy Flow·INSURANCE PAYMENT

The financial operating system for P&C insurance

Connect every party in your distribution chain. Carriers, MGAs, agencies, insureds, and finance companies all settled on one platform, with every number in agreement.

Carrier to insured. Every party, every dollar, every state.

Why Insurance Operations Break

The P&C technology stack was never built to settle money

Policy administration and financial operations have always been separate systems. The reconciliation gap between them costs carriers and MGAs millions every year.

Fragmented systems, no single source of truth

Legacy PAS systems track policy state. Separate billing systems track what is owed. Separate payment processors collect it. Nobody agrees on the number.

Month-end reconciliation is a fire drill

Carrier to MGA to agency: three parties, three systems, three different commission calculations. Disputed remittances and manual spreadsheet settlement matching consume weeks every month.

Multi-state compliance is a patchwork

Every state has different surplus lines taxes, stamping fees, and filing requirements. Most systems bolt compliance on top after the fact, creating regulatory exposure with every policy.

Premium finance is a silo

Finance companies receive policy data via fax or flat file. Return premium calculations are disputed. Cancellation workflows require phone calls. No party has the same number.

Policy Lifecycle

Every lifecycle event drives the right financial consequence automatically

Bind, issue, endorse, cancel, reinstate, renew. Each event is a commercial fact that the financial operations layer acts on immediately: invoices generated, commissions computed, settlements updated, audit trail complete.

One platform, every party in the distribution chain

Every participant sees their own view. Carriers see net premium across programs. MGAs manage program economics. Agencies see their book and commissions. Insureds see their policy and payments. Finance companies see financed portfolio status.

Settlement

Three billing modes. One settlement engine.

Direct bill, agency bill, and premium financed programs all run on the same financial operations layer. Switch billing modes per program, per state, without changing your integration.

Platform

Distributes Funds

Platform → Agent Commission (payable)

Platform → Carrier Net Premium

Carrier or MGA bills the insured directly. Agency commission paid as a separate payable after cash clears.

Endorsement economics automatic

Any mid-term premium change produces a correct adjustment invoice or credit memo, with pro-rata amounts per state billing rule.

Continuous settlement tracing

Every payment settlement traces to the invoice line that generated it. Audit trail is always complete. No month-end batch needed.

Return premium always agrees

Unearned premium is computed from the commercial snapshot, not estimated. Finance companies and carriers always agree on the number.

Multi-State Compliance

Every state. Every tax. Every filing. Built in.

Surplus lines taxes, stamping fees, fire marshal surcharges, and state assessments are configured at the jurisdiction level. Each appears as a separate line item on the invoice, traceable to the state. Regulatory reports are derived from the same data, not maintained separately.

Per-jurisdiction invoice line items

Every premium segment, surplus lines tax, stamping fee, and state assessment is a distinct invoice line tied to a specific state jurisdiction code. No guesswork, no aggregation errors.

Surplus lines filings from invoice data

State filings draw directly from jurisdiction-attributed invoice line subtotals. No separate tracking system required.

Jurisdiction inputs are snapshotted

The state breakdown that governed each invoice is captured at issuance and never changes. Replay an invoice from two years ago: same line items, same amounts, same jurisdictions.

Earned and unearned premium by state

Cancellations compute unearned premium credits per jurisdiction, with pro-rata or short-rate rules configurable per state.

Premium Finance

IPFS integration built on financial truth

Premium finance is treated as a pay-in-full settlement method, not a contract structure. The finance company pays the carrier or MGA in full. The insured repays the finance company separately. Every cancellation produces a correct return premium, computed from the same invoice lines used for everything else.

Finance company as pay-in-full settlement

When financing is elected, the platform treats the finance company's fund as settlement of the selected obligation set. Contract activation requires financing finality, not quote acceptance alone.

Instant endorsement alerts

Any mid-term premium change on a financed policy immediately signals the finance company. No flat-file batch. No phone calls.

Return premium that never disputes

Cancellation produces a credit memo computed from the same invoice line items as the original premium. The finance company and the MGA always have the same number. Disputes disappear.

What changes with IPFS financing

Finance company is the payer for the financed obligation set; not a party to the contract

Financing repayment schedule is entirely external; never conflated with the policy installment schedule

Delinquency signals from the finance company are observational: they do not automatically cancel the policy

Reinstatement after delinquency cure requires an explicit commercial request; automatic silent reinstatement is prohibited

Return premium flow on cancellation

Platform computes unearned premium from the commercial snapshot, not from an estimate

Credit memo issued; destination is rule-set-driven by jurisdiction (to insured or to finance company)

Finance company sees the credit in their portal immediately

No paper POA forms, no manual calculation disputes

AI Assistants

Insurance intelligence, embedded at every role

Context-aware AI assistants for carriers, MGAs, agencies, and finance companies. Each assistant understands its user's role, their book, and the financial state of every policy they touch.

MGA

Underwriting anomaly detection

Flags submissions with unusual loss ratios, rate deviation, or concentration risk before binding. Surfaces patterns across the program that would otherwise appear only at quarter-end.

Agency

Commission clarity assistant

Instantly answers why a commission changed this month. Traces the commission delta to the specific endorsement, cancellation, or rate change that produced it. Disputed commission statements disappear.

Finance

Portfolio health monitoring

Tracks which financed policies are approaching cancellation threshold, flags anomalous mid-term endorsement patterns, and summarizes return premium exposure across the financed portfolio.

Architecture

Built on financial truth, not financial approximation

Every Policy Flow financial output is exact and replayable. Given the same commercial state and the same cutoff time, the platform always produces the same invoices, commissions, settlements, and refunds. Every carrier, MGA, agency, and finance company always sees the same number.

Insurance-native data model

Policy is a Contract. Endorsement is an Amendment. Cancellation is a Commercial Lifecycle Event. These are first-class objects in the platform, not field hacks on a generic system.

CP1: Commercial truth precedes financial truth

Every dollar traces to a line item

Every commission, tax, fee, and return premium traces to the specific invoice line item that generated it. No aggregation errors. No month-end reconciliation gaps.

CP3: Line items are the atomic unit of allocation

Exact and replayable

The same commercial state plus the same cutoff time always produces the same financial output. Run the same invoice generation twice: identical results. Replay an audit from two years ago: identical results.

CP7: Determinism is mandatory

API-first from day one

Every policy lifecycle operation: bind, endorse, cancel, reinstate, renew. All available via API. Carriers and MGAs integrate without adopting the portal UI. The portal is one consumer of the same API everything else uses.

CP11: Internal models decoupled from external representations

Why Policy Flow

The gap no legacy system fills

Policy admin systems track policy state. Agency management systems track distribution. Payment processors collect money. None of them connect all three, and none of them settle money across the full distribution chain in real time.
