No. We are a wholesale brokerage, and therefore we work exclusively with retail agents. We do not make our platform directly available to insureds, and we do not license white-labeled copies of our platform or software.
Our platform is optimized for use on most tablets, and can be used for quick status updates when accessing from your smartphone.
Quotes can be generated instantly upon completion of our simple online application. If the risk submitted can't be auto-quoted, you'll know instantly if each carrier will refer or decline the risk. Our goal is to give you a quick response, whether it is "yes" or "no."
We require that agents maintain an active property and casualty license in the states in which they are transacting business and have insurance agency E&O coverage.
Start quoting with just your email in as little as 5 minutes.
Retail agents pay nothing to use Pathpoint - in fact, we pay you commission for bound business!
There are no complicated systems to integrate or set up - just access log in to our site and you’re ready to get started. You can submit as many risks as you need to, with no hidden charges for you or your agency.
Absolutely. We have platform security protocols and a team in place to protect your data. We encrypt all the data that passes through Pathpoint, and we have undergone IT testing to ensure we meet the required standards of major carrier participants. We are SOC 2 certified.
Pathpoint can ingests ACORDS which can make it even quicker to send in a submission, but they are not required to submit.
Our Operations team will walk you through the binding process—we take care of full post-bind account servicing, calculating surplus lines taxes, filing forms and affidavits (including “diligent search” efforts), keeping accounts in good standing and much more. We are here to help you drive repeat business and stay compliant.
Requirements for affidavits or diligent efforts vary by state. Pathpoint will work with our retail agents and brokers to be sure administrative requirements and filings are properly completed and filed.
Responsibility for surplus lines taxes, stamping fees, and other similar items varies by state but the responsibility to remit payment will typically fall on Pathpoint as the licensed surplus lines broker.
It depends on the type of coverage and carrier.
Binders or evidence of coverage will be provided by Pathpoint's team as soon as the carrier's pre-binding subjectivities have been completed. For some products, policy documents will be available within just a few hours after they have been checked for accuracy by Pathpoint's team while for other products (including most non-admitted policies), policies will take several days or more to be issued.
Pathpoint is an Agency Bill wholesaler today. Insureds should pay their agents directly and the agents should submit payment to Pathpoint. Pathpoint offers three options to make payments including ACH, Credit Card and Check.
Note:
There is a 3% site fee for credit card transactions based on the amount of the payment. The fee amount will be displayed at the time of payment confirmation.
There is a flat fee of $2.95 for ACH payments.
Pathpoint will appear as the broker on quotes, binders, policies, certificates of insurance, etc.
Pathpoint does not engage in the claims process. Retail agents should work with their insured customers to ensure that claims must be submitted in accordance with the instructions provided within the insurance policy as and when issued.
