EPLI, Cyber and Nonprofit D&O Programs

Billing and Payment

For Great American program policies, we offer both agency and direct bill. When completing the bind process online, you have the option to choose either agency or direct bill. If you choose direct bill, we will email a copy of the invoice to the insured. For all other carriers, we offer agency bill only.
No. All policies are single pay, paid-in-full policies. We will accept an outside premium finance agreement should your insured need to finance the premium. When financing, please include ABA Insurance Services as the general agent on the finance agreement.
