We have two options for providing finance agreements to your agency.
1. Provide Northern Investors Company with your basic agency information via e-mail and indicate you would like access to produce finance agreements online at your convenience.
2. Provide Northern Investors Company with the quote(s) from the Managing General Agents via e-mail or fax and we will complete an agreement and send it to you.
1. Review the finance agreement for accuracy and content.
2. Present the insured with the finance agreement and have the insured sign and date the agreement. Your agency will also need to sign and date the agreement.
3. Collect the down payment from the insured as indicated on the finance agreement while obtaining signatures.
4. E-mail, fax, or send via USPS the executed finance agreement to our office.
5. If you have collected the down payment from the insured, retain your commission and remit the difference to the Managing General Agent. Our company will fund the financed amount as indicated on the finance agreement.
Check your online invoice as well as your payment history to date. Access this information by logging in and selecting Payment History. Your login credentials are your contract number and the zip code we have on file. If you are still unsure give us a call!
The simplest solution if your agency is collecting the down payment is to withhold your commission from the down payment collected and remit the remaining funds to the Managing General Agent. Northern Investors Company will then fund the Managing General Agent listed on the finance agreement the financed amount. Please contact our office should you have any additional questions.
The down payment provides equity in the insurance policy. NIC Premium Finance submits payment for insurance policies, in full, at the inception of the loan. Should you fail to submit payments to NIC, as required, the insurance policies which our Company is financing will be requested to be cancelled and the down payment provides the equity needed to collateralize the loan.
MEP's are determined by the insurance companies not NIC Premium Finance. The minimum earned portion of the insurance policy is earned on the effective date of the policy and will not be returned if the insurance policy cancels for any reason. Check your policy documents or call your insurance agent to inquire if your policy has a MEP.
Example:
Pure Premium Policy Cost - 1,000.00
Policy Effective Date - January 1st
Minimum Earned Percentage - 25%
Estimated Earned Premium based on various Cancellation Dates:
January 2nd - 250.00
January 31st - 250.00
March 31st - 250.00
Agents with online access can obtain payment status and next due installment information upon logging in and selecting "Payment Histories - Active Account". If you are still unsure feel free to give us a call.
The answer depends on the cancellation date, thus this can't be answered with a simple yes or no. Once the policy is cancelled the insurance company will send all cancellation credits to our company which we will apply to your account. If a balance due still remains after all credits have been applied, NIC Premium FInance will be forced to collect the difference immediately. Conversely, should a credit balance remain on the account a check will be issued to you due to overpayment.
Typically the answer is yes. We will provide you an endorsement finance agreement with the updated figures. Please e-mail the endorsement invoice or quote to our company to expedite processing of the endorsement agreement.
Yes, you can add multiple policies to one agreement. This is a great way to reduce the number of payments your insureds have to keep track of.
You will need to contact your insurance agent directly. NIC Premium Finance provides premium financing services only. NIC is not affiliated with your insurance agent and does not have the ability to submit claims nor do we have any policy specific information on hand.
Yes, we offer monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual payment plans. The down payment varies due to the payment frequency selected.
Agents have the ability to submit E-Checks Online. Login and navigate to "Payment Histories - Active Accounts". Select Submit Agency Check and complete the process. There is not a charge for this service.
