Central Insurance Blog

Providing our policyholders with an exceptional experience is at the heart of all we do here at Central. Our e-options make it easy for you to manage your insurance directly from your computer, phone, or tablet.

In this article, we’ll review what Central’s e-options include, how to get started using them, and how these tools can make your insurance experience easier than ever.

What are Central’s e-Options?

There are four main ways you can manage your account online with Central. The first and most important is your myCentral portal, which is a hub for all your personal and policy information. From within myCentral, you can report or check the status of a claim, access your insurance ID cards, request roadside assistance, and more. 

Keep in Mind: myCentral is also the portal to your e-billing, e-policy, and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) options.

The next e-option Central offers e-policy. E-policy allows you to easily access your current policy information, make changes or updates to your existing coverage, and more.

E-billing is the option to receive and manage your billing statements electronically. . Change your due date, verify your future bill schedule, examine your payment history, and more from within this tool. E-billing members can also sign up to have billing notifications sent right to their phone.

Finally, Central offers Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for those looking for an easy and reliable payment method. When you sign up for EFT, payment is automatically withdrawn from your checking or savings account on the due date you choose. This option is a great choice for those looking to avoid service fees and ensures premiums are paid on time with no lapses in coverage.

Why should I use Central’s e-options?

Though we’ve received a myriad of positive feedback from policyholders who have utilized Central’s e-options, there are four most commonly identified benefits to using these products.

Convenience 

The ability to manage your insurance anytime, anywhere is a luxury not every carrier can offer. With on-demand, self-service solutions, your coverage becomes as agile as you are.

With your sensitive insurance and billing information managed online in your personal e-mail rather than via regular mail, you’re effectively reducing the odds of your data being lost or stolen.

EFT, for example, helps avoid service and late fees, while e-policy and e-billing help eliminate  costly paper and mailing supplies, alongside excess waste.

Peace of Mind

You simply can’t put a price on knowing you’re in good hands when it comes to your insurance coverage. Quick and easy access to your policy information is vital during emergencies, especially in disasters like a flood or fire. You can take comfort in the fact that there’s a copy of your policy stored online and your data is safe, secure, and always accessible to you—something Central has worked hard to accomplish within our systems.
