NBS is a very popular carrier, but many agents are running into issues when they try to enter NBS policies into Epic. We want our agents to be successful, so we’ve highlighted the specific steps you have to take when entering an NBS. For these policies issued directly from NBS, follow this procedure:
- Add a package policy
- Add the lines of business issued along with 2 FEE lines of business (see below)
- Add the carrier but change the Premium Payable to NBS Nationwide Brokerage Solutions (NBS)
- Then add in commission (If you don’t know, add in 10%)
At this time, we do not have a commission break down for NBS carriers.
It is important to note that these policies will not download; you will need to instead issue the policy manually. Be sure to double-check the dates and policy numbers prior to issuing the policy!
Here are some pictures to guide you
