MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – May 13, 2021 – Applied Systems® today announced that it has integrated Wawanesa direct bill payment capabilities into its online customer self-service software solution, Applied CSR24. This new capability enables customers to pay premiums in real time directly from their broker’s online customer portal or mobile app, creating a more connected and paperless customer payment experience.

“It’s more important than ever to give our broker partners the connectivity and payment options they need to provide an excellent customer experience,” said Graham Haigh, senior vice president & chief marketing officer, Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company. “That’s why we are excited to expand our partnership with Applied. Together, we’re delivering the kind of digital experience our policyholders have come to expect.”

Applied CSR24 enables brokerages to meet today’s insurance consumer demand for anywhere, anytime access to information by providing 24/7 access to insurance policy information, claims filing and processing, premium payments, and insurance documents through an online custom-branded client portal or mobile application. The integration to Wawanesa is available at no additional cost to brokers using Applied CSR24.

“In today’s digital world, it is critical for brokers to adopt an omnichannel customer service model and provide anywhere, anytime access to information and online services,” said Steve Whitelaw, vice president of Industry & Partner Relations, Applied Systems. “By adding access to its payment platform within Applied CSR24, Wawanesa can support simple, paperless payment experiences for its customers while keeping the broker’s trusted service front and centre through the process.”
