InsurTech NY: ePayPolicy on Digitising Payments

At InsurTech NY, Andrew Easley from ePayPolicy explains how the company is addressing a long-standing issue in insurance: payment collection and commission payouts.

Easley says many carriers are increasingly looking to step away from managing payments directly. Handling collections, commissions, and payment reconciliation can be operationally complex and resource-intensive, particularly for organisations focused on underwriting and risk.

According to Easley, this shift is becoming more visible in 2026, with carriers actively exploring ways to move payment responsibilities to specialist providers.

That’s where ePayPolicy positions itself.

Easley explains that the platform provides a way for insurers to digitise payment workflows, allowing them to move away from traditional methods such as paper checks. He notes that the industry has historically relied heavily on checks, which can slow down processes and create inefficiencies across the payment lifecycle.

By contrast, ePayPolicy enables payments to be made digitally through ACH and card-based methods, streamlining how funds are collected and distributed. The platform also integrates with policy systems, ensuring that payment data is automatically recorded and aligned with existing workflows.

For Easley, this is about simplifying operations.

Rather than managing payments internally, carriers can shift that responsibility while still maintaining visibility and control through integrated systems. This allows them to focus on their core business, while improving efficiency and speed across payment processes.

He also highlights the importance of events like InsurTech NY in supporting this shift.

Easley describes the conference as a key venue for connecting with carriers, MGAs, and other stakeholders in the insurance ecosystem. Having everyone in one place allows for more direct conversations, helping companies like ePayPolicy better understand industry needs and build relationships with potential partners.

After attending the event for several years, Easley notes that its value lies in bringing together the right people those involved in decision-making and those actively looking to modernise their operations.

Overall, his perspective reflects a broader move within the industry.

Payments, once seen as a routine operational function, are now becoming an area for digital transformation with carriers increasingly looking to modernise, streamline, and outsource where it makes sense.
