Revolutionizing Late Payments in Insurance: The Adapt Late Pay Agent

On September 22, 2026, Adapt launched its latest innovation, the Late Pay Agent, designed to revolutionize how property and casualty insurance agencies handle overdue payments.

This groundbreaking tool aims to enhance operational efficiency by automating the follow-up process for outstanding payments, addressing a classic challenge within the industry. Many insurance agencies struggle without a standardized method for managing late payments, often relying on manual interventions from staff. The Late Pay Agent alleviates this burden by automating customer communications via emails, texts, or calls, prompting payment until collection is successful.

Streamlining Operations with Automation

The Late Pay Agent introduces a performance-based pricing model where agencies incur charges only upon successful payment collection. This innovative approach ensures that if customers settle their accounts before intervention or in cases of policy cancellations, agencies pay no fees. By reducing the workload of chasing late payments, account managers can now prioritize tasks that add strategic value to their agencies.

"Agencies win on service, and service is capped by how many hours account managers have. Chasing late payments is thankless work, and it's also what keeps a customer insured."

Jacob Simon, Founder of Adapt

Impact on Policy Retention

Data suggests that agencies maintaining structured late payment processes experience significantly fewer policy lapses. Adapt's tool aims to enhance policy retention, reportedly preserving up to 93% of policies at risk of cancellation due to non-payment. This automation enables agency staff to better allocate their time, providing some with over an additional hour each day for other responsibilities.

Practical Benefits for Agencies

Elaine Giuliani, Director of Personal Lines at Latitude Insurance, highlighted the operational advantages of using the Late Pay Agent. By equating it to gaining another team member, she noted that the tool simplifies processes and opens doors for expansion and strategic development. Adapt's automation solutions already minimize manual data entry into insurance carrier portals, further fostering digital transformation in the insurance industry.
