Billing Questions

Is there a cost associated with paying online?
  • ACH payments (preferred method of payment) are free. Please use our ePay option here to make a free ACH payment online.
  • Credit card payment options available through ePay and are subject to standard processing fees.
I’m a finance company looking for return premium on a policy. When can I expect a check?
  • Return premium credits are issued approximately 60 days from the processing/effective date of the endorsement. For exact figures, please email Chelsiey@CIDinsurance.com and include “Return Premium” in the subject line.
When do I (the agent) receive direct bill commission?
  • The direct bill commission process is as follows: the insured pays the carrier → the carrier pays commission to CID → CID pays commission to agent. Agents can expect to receive their portion of commission approximately 60 days from the effective date of the policy. This timeline is contingent on the insured's payment to the carrier.
