Close a Binder Bill Transaction

A binder bill transaction will typically be closed at the time the policy is issued. This means that the premium payable for the transaction is no longer deferred. You are able to modify the transaction’s premium and commission during the Close Binder workflow so that they reflect the final values on the policy.

Closing a binder bill transaction that is part of an installment plan automatically closes all installments in the plan.

The Close Binder action is available only if binder bill transactions are enabled in System Settings.
