What is BX Pay
BX Pay is a new feature on the BondExchange platform that allows you and your customers to pay for surety bonds with a bank routing and account number (ACH/EFT). Previously, bonds could only be purchased via a credit card or check.
How Does it Work?
For Agents
You must complete the following steps to activate BX Pay:
Step 1 – Sign in to your BondExchange account
Step 2 – Click on your user icon
Step 3 – Click the “Payment Methods” tab
Step 4 – Click “Add a Bank Account”
Step 4 – Add your account information and accept the user agreement
You will then be able to toggle BX Pay on and off through the “Payment Methods” tab located on the agent dashboard.
For Your Customers
Your customers will have the option to purchase their bonds through BX Pay during the checkout process.
Why is it Important?
BX Pay allows agents that do not have an agency debit/credit card to pay for their bonds online quickly. The days of having to mail in checks are long gone. Now, agents can simply enter their bank account information once and forever ditch the hassle of submitting payments through outdated and time-consuming means.
