Propeller has already made an impact! When deciding what platform (surety direct or otherwise), we automatically consider Propeller now - it is top of mind!
Your approach to issuing small commercial surety bonds online and via email is excellent and has been very well received by clients. Further, it has streamlined our work in that space, freeing up capacity for our larger and complex cases.
I love the ease of the system - that I can issue bonds on behalf of the client or send them a link and have them do it. I love that you have thousands of bonds in your database. I feel comfortable talking to a client across the country because you probably have the bond form that they need.
I can say working with Propeller Bonds and their entire team has been a great experience for us and our clients. From litigation to construction and everything in between, they are easy and effective!
This is what swinging at solutions vs. swinging at nails looks like.
The Propeller quote system is so easy to use & I was able to issue one already at a much better price than the current surety I also use. This will be a great option for my Agency for bonds!
You are doing a magnificent job!
Representatives were very helpful when I needed to make changes to my certificate!
The ability to update/amend a bond without having to ask Underwriting is great! Also the ability to have a portal to see all bond purchases and their expiration dates, etc.
