A Commerce Bancshares Case Study
Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance, a customer of Commerce Bancshares, faced the challenge of paying insurance claims in a slow and inefficient manner. Their traditional method of issuing bank drafts meant claimants had to wait several days to access funds, which was not ideal for people who needed money immediately after a loss.
Commerce Bank developed an innovative digital payment solution called PreferPay through its CommercePayments product set. This online portal allows claimants to choose their preferred payment method, with funds sent to a debit card arriving within minutes. The solution significantly improved back-office efficiency and customer satisfaction. For Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance, 75% of payments to individual claimants are now completed digitally, with direct-to-debit being the most popular option.
