SIAA Xchange and Input 1 Launch Xchange Billing Services
Input 1, a provider of managed billing services, digital payments and premium finance solutions for the insurance industry, stated that it has partnered with SIAA Xchange to launch Xchange Billing Services.
The integrated solution brings together:
- SIAA Xchange’s member network
- Market access and distribution capabilities
- Agency relationships
- Input 1’s insurance technology
- Billing and payments infrastructure
- Premium finance platform
Together, the companies provide members and their policyholders with a centralized experience for billing and payment processing.
Integrated Billing and Payment Solution
Xchange Billing Services is designed to expand the billing and payment capabilities available to Xchange members and their policyholders.
The service allows members to:
- Convert eligible business to direct bill, even when the underlying market does not offer direct bill natively
- Bill policyholders directly
- Manage premium collection
- Manage installment billing
- Remit commissions to the member agency
- Continue using agency bill where appropriate
Input 1 stated that billing is integrated into the same Xchange workflow members use for submission and placement, connecting billing activities with the existing process used by agencies.
Expanding Billing Terms and Payment Options
The partnership extends the capabilities Xchange provides to members handling E&S business.
The companies stated that Xchange Billing Services expands the billing terms and payment options available to agencies and their policyholders while reducing administrative work associated with premium collection.
The integrated approach brings billing and payment processing into a centralized experience rather than requiring members to manage those functions separately from the Xchange workflow.
Direct Bill and Premium Collection
A central capability of the new service is the ability to place eligible business on direct bill, including situations where the underlying insurance market does not provide that billing arrangement natively.
Under the service:
- The policyholder is billed directly
- Premium collection is managed through the service
- Installment billing is supported
- Commissions are remitted to the member agency
- Agency bill remains available
These capabilities give Xchange members additional billing options within their existing submission and placement workflow.
Reducing Administrative Burden for E&S Business
The companies stated that the billing capabilities extend how Xchange simplifies excess and surplus lines (E&S) placement for its members.
By incorporating billing and payment processing into the Xchange experience, the program is designed to reduce the administrative burden associated with premium collection.
The service also expands the range of billing terms and payment options available to agencies and their policyholders.
Leadership Commentary
Hunter Moss, CEO of SIAA Xchange, said the company’s objective is to simplify E&S business throughout the policy lifecycle.
“Xchange is focused on making E&S business easier for our members throughout the entire policy lifecycle. Integrating billing and payment capabilities is another step toward reducing administrative friction and giving agencies and their customers more flexibility. Input 1 has worked closely with our team to build these capabilities into the Xchange experience while allowing us to continue expanding and automating the platform over time.”
Todd Greenbaum, CEO and President of Input 1, said the technology and services were developed around how Xchange wanted the program to operate.
“Our goal was to build the technology and services around the way Xchange wanted the program to work. The platform is deeply integrated with the Xchange platform and combines billing and payment capabilities within a highly secure environment. This gives SIAA Xchange members greater flexibility while reducing many of the manual processes traditionally associated with collection.”
Program Operational Since July 20, 2026
The program is already operational, according to Input 1.
Managed billing and digital payments went live on July 20, 2026, with:
- API connectivity linking the Xchange and Input 1 systems
- Single sign-on connecting the two platforms
- Managed billing capabilities
- Digital payment capabilities
The technical integration connects the two systems while allowing members to access the billing and payment functionality through the Xchange experience.
Scalable Billing and Payment Infrastructure
The launch establishes scalable billing and payment infrastructure designed to support Xchange as transaction volume grows.
The companies stated that the infrastructure also creates a foundation for further automation and new capabilities intended to continue improving how members work.
The program therefore combines the current billing and payment functionality with an infrastructure designed to accommodate additional development within the Xchange platform.
