BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fiserv, Inc.

American Family Insurance is focused on a seamless customer experience that includes payment method options for auto, homeowners, renters, commercial and life insurance. With CheckFreePay from Fiserv, American Family customers who prefer to make their insurance payments via cash can do so in the same places they shop, including major retailers, grocery stores and convenience stores. This is a particularly welcomed development during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Delivering unparalleled service and exceptional protection to our customers means offering them ways to pay that best suits their needs,” said May Vang, head of treasury, American Family Insurance. “CheckFreePay allows us to offer payment locations that are open seven days a week with extended hours, so that our customers can make payments in the manner they choose, at their convenience.”
Cash remains a go-to payment method for many consumers, who consider it to be a fast and secure way of making payments. To discover more research about the cash-preferred customer or learn more about CheckFreePay from Fiserv, visit checkfreepay.com.
