PHILADELPHIA -- The disasters created by these storms are why insurance companies need to be ready BEFORE disaster strikes and be able to react immediately. Victims cannot afford to wait...and now they don't have to. InsurCard can have them covered. "We believe providing a branded card to our policyholders when they are in need will greatly simplify a very difficult situation for them.

As soon as possible, the adjuster meets the policyholder at the scene, makes an initial claim evaluation, and determines the amount to be paid for immediate needs. The adjuster activates the card on the spot, either by phone or via the web. Once activated, InsurCard provides the policyholder with the necessary funds to meet critical needs for food, shelter, and emergency repairs. As the recovery process continues, the card may be reloaded to pay for property damage and additional living expenses. InsurCard is so simple, so practical and so economical that you have to wonder why it wasn't always like this. Consider the advantages of InsurCard: 1.

And the insurer controls the payment and activation of cards. Cards have no value until the insurer authorizes payment. 3. More cost effective than checks.
