Ascend Joins Vertafore, Integrates Payments & Premium Financing Solution With AMS360

Today, Ascend, the first modern insurance payments platform, announced that they will be integrating their payments and premium financing solution with Vertafore’s AMS360.

Ascend is the first modern insurance payments platform that provides automated, all-in-one financing, collections, and payables. Vertafore is a provider of distribution-related insurance technology. Their product, AMS360, is a leading agency management software that enables agents to focus on their customers. It allows agencies to automate processes, simplify work, and drive new business so that agents can dedicate more time to their customers and prospects.

The integration between Ascend and AMS360 marks a huge step forward for the industry by offering a fully automated AMS and payments solution to thousands of customers. Vertafore brings together complementary solutions and best-in-class capabilities to their suite of products. As one of their preferred partners, Ascend’s payments and premium financing solution will be integrated into Vertafore products and accessible to their customers.

“At Ascend, we’re always looking to work with like-minded industry leaders that care about and value insurance agencies as much as we do,” says Andrew Wynn, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Ascend. “Customers are the heart and soul of this industry, and Vertafore is a phenomenal resource for agents across the US to be introduced to solutions, platforms, and systems that allow them to perfect their craft and spend time where it matters most: on the customers.”

AMS360 is responsible for streamlining customer communications, and claims, and storing sensitive information, among other things. With this partnership, Ascend will be connected to AMS360 instances and allow participating agencies to automate additional steps in their workflows related to premium collection, premium financing, and accounting.

“Ascend’s integration with AMS360 has transformed our complicated process of collecting payments and offering premium financing into a simple workflow right from our agency management system,” says Andrew Ryan, VP at Hertvik Insurance Group. “It saves our team countless hours and helps us increase our efficiency while providing an easy-to-use payment experience.”
