Q. How do my clients pay their premiums?

For Personal Line accounts, we use an insured bill system called AsperaPay. We will email invoices directly to your clients after the policy is bound, giving them the flexibility to pay online or by mail via credit card, check, or bank account, and we automatically send you your monthly commission.

For Commercial Lines, Aspera is agency bill. We send two documents when payment is due – the Policyholder Document (BRC) and an invoice. You pay the net amount from the invoice, which represents the gross amount less your commission.

You can contact anyone on the appropriate team, personal or commercial.

We are committed to responding to our agents quickly – remember Aspera is located in Virginia, and we operate within the Eastern time zone.
