BondExchange Upgrades Website

 

Does your surety hand you paying customers with a commission check? What if your website gave insureds the ability to shop the entire surety market, quote, and purchase bonds in minutes? BondExchange now provides agents with all of these features and more…

What’s New?

Agents can now generate business through BondExchange, have their customers quote bonds directly from their websites, and purchase bonds with a bank routing and account number.

BX Agent Finder

Our proprietary agent finder tool allows agents to leverage BondExchange’s national marketing campaigns. Insureds search for a local BX agent, displaying the agent’s profile and instantly allowing the customer to quote a bond. We get a lot of retail traffic to our website. However, we are wholesale only and work exclusively with licensed insurance agents. The agent finder tool allows us to market agents enrolled with us by prominently displaying their profiles to retail customers.

Generating new leads can be challenging, and agents often ask us for assistance in marketing their agencies. With BX Agent Finder, agents now have customers coming directly to them, effectively generating leads without the enormous budget it takes to compete online or doing any work other than the two minutes it takes to enroll.

Surety bonds create sticky relationships with customers, and most people purchasing a bond will need other types of insurance as well. By being featured on BX Agent Finder, agents have the opportunity to create lasting relationships with customers who have extensive insurance needs.

BX Pro

BondExchange agents can easily look like a surety expert by inserting a customizable button on their website, allowing customers to quote and purchase bonds instantly. By allowing their customers to quote bonds directly on their website, agents further cement their reputation as surety pros and differentiate their business from the competition.

BX Pay

No agency credit card? No problem! We’ve expanded our payment method options to allow agents to purchase bonds via ACH transactions. The days of having to mail in checks are long gone. Now, agents can quickly buy bonds online with just a bank routing and account number.

What’s Changed?

You may have noticed that when you log in to your BX account that everything looks, well, completely different. Our goal is to make BondExchange a one-stop-shop for surety bonds, and by upgrading the agent dashboard, we’ve given agents the ability to manage all of their surety-related needs in one central location.

What’s Stayed the Same?

As the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. With this in mind, we’ve kept all core quoting and issuing processes the same, with only slight visual modifications. Our objective is to ensure that the changes we make to our platform benefit agents, which is why we’ve refrained from altering the quoting/issuing process and instead added additional tools such as a direct deposit option and giving agents the ability to quote bonds directly from their website.

The Bottom Line

Surety bonds are confusing. However, your bond broker does not have to be. By relaunching bondexchange.com, we’ve allowed agents to generate more leads, quote bonds faster, and purchase bonds via ACH transactions. We are confident that these new tools will further simplify obtaining surety bonds and give agents the tools they need to grow their business efficiently.
