Having a nice new insurance policy is great, but you could end up with paperwork mailed to your home as thick as a book and that’s not desirable. It is a fact that writing new policies has meant buying more paper, killing more trees and paying more postage. But thanks to modern technology, it is now possible to apply for an insurance policy that doesn’t involve tons of paperwork. Since this is the 21st century, innovative insurance companies have been offering customers the option to go green, helping the company save money and use less paper.Here are other benefits involved with paperless home and auto insurance policies:
1. Savings. Using a paperless system for your insurance documents can save the insurance company money spent on paper and printer ink, but those savings can be passed on to you, the insured. This is a newer type of discount being offered by participating insurance companies to encourage their consumers to do the right thing.
2. Being Green is Easy. Not only does it save you money, but it means that you wouldn’t have to receive an endless supply of paperwork for documentation purposes. On top of that, you will not have to spend as much on postage, be burdened with having to store stacks of paperwork or worry about how to dispose of those personal documents when you don’t need them anymore. Plus, you would be doing a lot of good for the environment by saving thousands of trees every year.
3. Availability. It’s not impossible for somebody to lose or misplace their insurance documentation. Because of that, with your auto or home insurance accessible online, all you have to do is go online and have it reprinted almost anywhere. This kind of convenience can save you a lot of worry and stress.
4. Security. Not having an endless stream of paperwork mailed to your home means your personal information can’t accidentally fall into the wrong hands should the envelope get lost in the mail or get delivered to the wrong address. Instead, all of your insurance information is stored online on encrypted drives for your protection. All you have to do is login to the site to verify your identity to be able to view your documents.
5. Saves Time. If you have an online insurance policy you can get your document(s) immediately without having to dial the phone, wait to speak to a customer service representative and then wait even longer for the needed paperwork to arrive in the mail. In addition, statements are sent via email in a timely manner to notify or keep you updated regarding any changes to your policy or the insurance company you are working with.
