This video is intended for all users at an agency that uses EZLynx Accounting.Certain carriers require a policy’s premium to be paid in full, so the policyholder might use a Premium Finance company to help make the payment. This video covers how to invoice for a policy involving a premium finance company when the finance company pays the billing company directly, and the agency collects a deposit or down payment from the customer.


A Premium Finance Company may be used by a customer to finance part of an insurance policy premium.


The Premium Finance Company sends the payment to the billing company or agency:

  • If Billing Company - financed amount is sent directly to the carrier. The agency is responsible for collecting any associated fees and retained commissions.
  • If Agency - financed amount is sent to the agency.  The agency is responsible for paying the carrier the entire premium plus any associated fees.
