Policy premium and loan history requests
To better serve you and your clients, we're improving the turnaround time for policy premium and loan history requests. In 2018, we delivered these items in seven to 10 business days. We're reducing that to five business days or less in 2019. Additionally, our revised guidelines for policy premium and loan history requests will improve the consistency and quality of service delivered:
  • We’ll provide up to five years of history.
  • We’ll fulfill up to four requests per year, per policy.
  • We’ll provide premium history for policies on direct billing but not for policies on automatic payment processing (APP).
  • For consistency, our accounting detail will reflect the “applied” date instead of the “received” date.
We appreciate the opportunity to serve you better and will continue to make improvements. Thank you for your business!
