A new billing experience is coming

As part of our continued efforts to provide best-in-class systems and processes to you and your Liberty Mutual<sup>®</sup> small commercial customers, we have begun to migrate eCLIQ<sup>®</sup> policies onto a new billing platform.

 

You will first notice this change on new business policies, and over the next 12 to 18 months, renewal policies will also transition from the legacy billing system.

 

Customers will gain access to improved online self-service through the Billing Online Self-Service Portal, which will also inform them of important account information such as policy renewals.

 

Once the transition is complete, you will have a unified billing experience, including service processes and commission statements. Until then, you’ll receive commission statements from both systems, and there will be two billing phone numbers for legacy policies (1-866-290-2920) and policies that have transitioned (1-844-961-0334).

 

Agents in California, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have likely already begun seeing changes in the billing process for some policies.

 

For more detailed information about what’s changing and how it will impact you and your customers, check out this FAQ.

Multiple states: Installment fee billing update

States affected: FL, IA, MA, NC, ND, WV

Beginning in July 2022, Liberty Mutual will implement the following fee changes for policies on installment payment plans.

 

Iowa, Massachusetts and North Dakota:

  • Introduce a $5 recurring electronic funds transfer fee
  • Increase bill by mail and recurring credit card fees up to $8

Florida:

  • Introduce a $1 recurring electronic funds transfer fee

North Carolina and West Virginia:

  • Introduce a $3 recurring electronic funds transfer fee

The increases will be applied to all new and existing policies written or renewed on August 14, 2022, or later. Customers can avoid the installment fees by paying their premiums in full using any payment method.

 

Bill fees have not increased for several years even though processing costs have continued to rise. Matching fees to the cost of processing differentiates our preferred payment methods and creates transparency, which allows you to help customers make an informed payment choice. In addition, fees are widely accepted across the P&C industry and these increases will keep Liberty Mutual in line with key competitors.

 

This is a country-wide rollout. Additional dates and states will be communicated as they are approved.

Uncashed BOP refunds will be reissued as credit

In April 2020, we issued a 15% refund on two months of premium coverage for all business owner’s policies, including those that were written as part of a specialty program.

Today, our records indicate that several thousand of those checks have gone uncashed. We want to let you know that this month, we will be canceling those checks and will issue the outstanding refunds as credit on those customer accounts.
