NEEDHAM, MA — (Marketwired) — 05/13/13 — Enservio (), the nation-s leading provider of software and services to property insurers, today announced an agreement with MasterCard for the delivery of claims payments with prepaid debit cards. The move from paper checks to a card-payment solution reduces insurance carrier costs and delivers policy holders immediate, secure and more flexible access to claims settlement funds.
“Processing paper checks is costly and time consuming,” says Jon McNeill, Enservio-s CEO. “Prepaid debit cards deliver immediate funds while offering the flexibility for recurring payments as needed. Carriers who can offer their customers immediate payment options like this will save money and build customer loyalty. It-s really a win-win for everyone.”

Immediate access to funds – EFT, Bank, ATM
Use at millions of merchants
More secure

Universal Solution: checks only work for 70% of US population

Insurance carriers benefit from cost savings and security enhancements when moving from paper checks to card-payment solutions:
Direct costs: paper, ink, delivery, supplements/RD, lost checks
Indirect Costs: labor, fees, accounting/treasury overhead
Hidden Costs: fraud, lost check costs, return check costs, check replacement, escheatment
Cost savings by as much as $20 in operational costs per claim processed
“Commerce today is moving increasingly toward paperless transactions. In the insurance space, this is because of the efficiencies to be gained for payers and the convenience and flexibility for consumers and retailers,” said Brett Adams, Lead, U.S. Prepaid Products, MasterCard. “With the Enservio payment solution, insurance carriers and their customers can benefit from these same types of simple, secure and smart solutions.”
