FSC Insurance Solutions and Safeco

 To Provide Real-Time Rates in Connecticut

Agoura Hills, CA / Seattle, WA, —FSC Insurance Solutions, a business unit of Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV) and Safeco (NASDAQ: SAFC) have announced plans to provide independent agents in Connecticut with real-time personal auto insurance rates through FSC’s single-data-entry comparative rating platform, XcelerRator™.

XcelerRator™ is FSC’s web-based rating system that provides a combination of traditional manufactured rates and carrier direct real-time rates, integration to carrier and third party software, and a complete library of ACORD and carrier supplemental forms.

“In order for agents and brokers to stay competitive in the marketplace, they need single-entry access to accurate credit affected premiums for multiple carriers” said David Cooksley, President of FSC Insurance Solutions East. “XcelerRator™ solves this need and ensures that rates received from real-time rating partners like Safeco, are the same rates a producer would have received if they had been requested from the carrier directly.”

“Real-Time rating shows a great deal of promise to the independent agent community,” said Mele Fuller, Director of Partner Integration at Safeco. “In combination with SafecoNow’s Quote & Issue capabilities, real-time rating uncomplicates the sales process.   We are pleased to work with FSC Insurance Solutions in providing Safeco agents with access to real-time rating through the XcelerRator™ platform.”
