If you use an outside premiums finance company, consider Premium Financing Specialists. When you need a premium finance quote, you can select the policies to be financed and automatically transfer that information the PFS web site for a quote and preparation of the finance agreement.   For existing polices financed with PFS, account status and payment info can be accessed with the click of a button.

When PFS is selected as the finance company and the integration is installed, the PFS button will appear on the policy browse and below the finance information of the policy.

For detailed information on setup and using the PFS integration please take a look at the support article.

Capital Payment Plan supports the NYAIP Rater. Selecting this rater in the Agency Advantage will automatically enter the Capital Payment Plan company under Insurance Company Setup with CP~ as the Company Code.  This allows you to import rate and application data for policies written with the NYAIP.

When Capital Payment plan is selected as the finance company, the CPP buttons will appear below the finance information of that policy.

The button on the left takes you to the account status. The button on the right (lock) allows you to configure your account.

EZLynx integration moves information from Acord forms 80 and 90 in The Agency Advantage to EZLynx for real time rating.

After subscribing to EZLynx, let them know that you are using The Agency Advantage and they will provide special software that adds an EZLynx printer to your systems. Once that is installed, use The Agency Advantage to complete either ACORD form 80 (Homeowner's Application) or ACORD 90 (Personal Auto Application) and print it, choosing the EZLynx printer.

This will automatically open the EZLynx website, log you in and use the information from the ACORD forms to provide rates.  If you write the account, the customer and policy information will be downloaded into you Agency Advantage the next morning.
