How to "Go Green" With Your Insurance

Earth Day 2018 is April 22, so it’s the perfect opportunity to do something positive for the environment and “go green” with your insurance.

But wait—how can you “go green” with your insurance (besides pay your premiums with green cash)? Glad you asked! Let’s look at few little things you can do that can make a big difference to the environment.

Online quotes

One of the easiest ways to save some time (and paper!) is to request a quote online.  This is a great way to check one item off your to-do list whenever it's convenient for you, because you can request a quote through our website 24/7; we do our best to respond to all requests in a timely manner—if not the day we receive it, within the next 1-2 business days.   As an independent agency, we work with several carriers for all types of insurance, so we can shop around with our network to obtain quotes that best meet your needs and your budget.   

Electronic documents and e-Signatures

We strive to meet our customers’ needs and keep up with the ever-changing nature of technology. As a result, we try to send necessary documents to our customers electronically, via email or fax, as much as we can.  As an added convenience, some of our carriers offer an e-sign option, so you can “sign” the paperwork electronically and not have to worry about printing and signing a hard copy.

Additionally, more and more carriers have a “Go Paperless” option, so you can receive all your information from them electronically.  Check out your carrier to see if they have this option available.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Some customers still make their payments the old-fashioned way with a paper check, but have you thought about switching to paying electronically? Many carriers now give customers the option of enrolling in an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payment plan, in which the company automatically withdraws funds from your checking account every month.  Contact us for more information or if you’d like to set up this type of payment plan.

Technology has been a game-changer for essentially every industry; here at ETA Benefits Group we are always looking at ways to make your experience with our office easier and more convenient.
