“Awards like this mean so much because you can’t just apply for them. They’re earned,” said ePayPolicy CEO Mark Engels. “We’re building something special, and I’m proud of our entire organization for their contribution in making this an incredible place to work.”

Built In determines Best Places to Work winners based on an algorithm, using company data about compensation and benefits.

Here’s what one Gartner review said about their ePayPolicy experience:

“The platform has truly made managing payments stress-free, and my clients love how simple it is for them too. Overall, it’s been a huge win for me and my business.” 

“Being recognized as a Best Place to Work is a testament to these companies’ commitment to building a workplace where individuals and innovation thrive,” said Built In CEO and Founder, Maria Christopoulos Katris. “Congratulations on this well-deserved honor.”

AUSTIN, TX – June 23, 2025 – ePayPolicy is proud to announce recognition as a Category Leader in GetApp’s 2025 Payment Processing Software Awards. This distinction underscores ePayPolicy’s dedication to providing an impactful, reliable, and user-friendly payment experience for thousands of insurance companies, alongside companies like Square and Paypal. The award is based solely on reviews from actual customers.

The GetApp Category Leaders report helps businesses make informed decisions by highlighting top-performing products across various categories. Inclusion in this report signifies that ePayPolicy has consistently demonstrated superior performance, functionality, and customer satisfaction, as evidenced by the thousands of authentic user reviews collected across Gartner Digital Markets’ family of sites, including Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp.

“We’re incredibly thrilled to be recognized as a Category Leader by GetApp,” said Mark Engels, CEO of ePayPolicy. “This achievement is not just an award for our team; it reflects the trust our clients place in us and the real-world value our tools deliver every day. Our mission has always been to simplify payments for the insurance industry. It means a lot that our customers are reflecting that back to us with their reviews.”

“(ePayPolicy) has helped us change the receipt of a payment from the client that took at least 3 or 4 days, and sometimes a week or more, down to an immediate turn-around in some cases,” said user Jill M on a recent GetApp review. 

ePayPolicy’s platform is built solely for the insurance industry, serving carriers, MGAs, premium finance companies and agencies. What began with a mission to make online ACH and credit card payments more accessible for the industry over 10 years ago has expanded to a collection of AR/AP tools designed to make sending and receiving payments a seamless experience, across the connected insurance payments network. Recent feature announcements, such as Finance Connect and Network Payables, enhance the connectivity, speed and security of payments across that network.

“(I) just wish I had gotten started on ePayPolicy earlier. It makes AR and AP so much easier and in turn, it frees up a lot of time for getting new business!” said Victoria Y. on another GetApp review.

We know it might *sound* harsh. But, hear us out.

First, when we say checks are dumb, we mean they’re a simple, vulnerable, overused form of payment in the insurance industry. Their time should have already passed. If you Google the history of check payments, you find words like “Mesopotamia.” C’mon. 

Secondly, we don’t think people who use checks are dumb. That would be mean. Most people want to do the best and smartest thing, and they either:

• Haven’t found a better way yet, or
• Are afraid of change. And fear of change is universal, and understandable.

But here’s the thing – the insurance industry has to change. Check payments aren’t “just slow.” They slow everything down. They slow down producers who want to bind new business faster (time kills deals), renew existing customers quickly and delight all customers with the easiest path to payment. And they slow down accounting teams by sending them on paper chases, bank runs and back-and-forth computer monitor reconciliation matching, daring them to make a wrong keystroke and unbalance the books for that week/month/quarter/year.

Check payments don’t persist because they’re better, but because they’re familiar. It’s “the devil you know,” but the devil’s in the details:

• Reports of check fraud have risen every year since 2021. Now, 80% of companies recently surveyed have reported instances of check fraud (source).
• A mailed check sent from within the same zip code can still take 3-7 days to arrive. The least expensive Priority Mail option (still 1-3 days) is now $8.
• Rapidly rising mail theft is the most common form of check fraud (source), with average reported losses starting at over $19,000 per instance.

ePayPolicy has over 7,000 agencies, carriers, MGAs and PFCs who have made the easy switch to online digital payments. Some still have to deal with checks (for now), and that’s fine. We have smart solutions for that. And we’re working with them week in/out to find ways to make payments the easiest thing they do.

Just because something works, doesn’t mean it works well. Checks are slow, unsafe and prone to loss – overrelying on them means your payments are literally costing you. And they could cost you big.

It’s ok to say it with me – checks are dumb.

ePayPolicy has been honored with a 2025 G2 Best Software Award, specifically in the Financial Services category. This recognition highlights ePayPolicy’s commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences and innovative payment solutions for the insurance industry.

G2 is the world’s largest software marketplace, with over 100 million buyers annually. The award is based on authentic user reviews and data, making this recognition a true reflection of customer satisfaction. ePayPolicy’s achievement underscores its dedication to simplifying payment workflows and empowering insurance professionals with seamless, secure, and efficient payment processing.

“We are incredibly proud to receive this G2 award,” said Mark Engels, CEO at ePayPolicy. “It validates our relentless focus on helping money move efficiently and securely throughout a massive insurance network. We are grateful to our users for their valuable feedback and continued support.”

Key Highlights of ePayPolicy’s Recognition:

• ePayPolicy’s G2 public ratings specifically call out the platform’s ease of use, top-rated support, and payment processing speed.
• New feature releases, such as Quotes & Invoices and Finance Connect, offer digitization of manual or non-integrated processes for insurance companies.
• Many customers called out additional efficiencies unlocked by integrating ePayPolicy with their agency management system (AMS) or accounting software

“ePayPolicy saved our employees tons of time and has given us a central location for electronic payments vs multiple methods to track,” said on G2 reviewer. This time-saving, centralized experience is made possible by ePayPolicy’s platform, which offers a range of features designed to streamline payment processes for insurance carriers, agencies, brokers, and MGAs, including:

• Online ACH and credit card payment acceptance via custom-branded payment pages
• Consolidated payments reporting dashboard
• Integrated premium financing at checkout, with existing PFC business partners
• Custom API accounting integration and pre-built integrations with over 90% of the most popular industry management systems.
• Quick and efficient email quote and invoice generation, directly linked to online payment

“This G2 award is a testament to our team’s dedication to our customers,” Engels added. “We’re continuing to enhance our platform and provide the best possible payment experience for the entire insurance industry.”
