1. Introduction to e-Settlement

The e-Settlement facility is a web-based accounts system provided by AXA insurance. It allows Brokers to reconcile and settle their statement of account online, and it is accessed via the imarket industry portal.

When using e-Settlement you can:

View, sort and reconcile your statement of account in real time.

Settle single or multiple account items.

Indicate agreement of premium figures.

Raise a query for any account item which will be sent straight to the relevant resolving department.

View the progress of previously raised queries.

View details of queries resolved by AXA.

View details of premium/commission splits.

Print and download your statement of account.

Authorise reconciled balances for automated payment. AXA will be able to:

Provide Brokers with real time access to their account.

View your reconciliation progress on the account.

Be informed of account items which are excluded from finalised reconciliations prior to authorisation.

Automate the collection of authorised payments through Direct Debit.

Allocate your payments automatically.

2. Broker best practice The following points are best practice guidelines for Brokers using e-Settlement. These are in line with AXA Insurance’s Terms of Business Agreements, and are generally accepted industry processes for premium collection. Statement reconciliation:

All statement reconciliation groups are to be fully reconciled each month.

All due and overdue account balances should be paid or queried.

Any part-collected premium from an insured should be included in the reconciliation and paid to AXA. (For all such entries a query should be raised to advise AXA the reasons for part collection).

Queries on future due items should be raised in the first month that they appear on the statement.

The ad hoc payment facility should be used for any new items that are not appearing on the statement but need to be settled.

An electronic or paper copy of the reconciled account should be kept as a record by the Broker.

Reconciliations should be finalised in time, to allow authorisation to occur within 3 working days prior to the end of the month.

Payment authorisation:

Reconciled balances are to be authorised at least 3 days before the end of the month.

PINs are determined and owned by the individual authorising user, and should not be shared with any other individual.

PIN reset requests should be sent to AXA immediately to avoid delay in payment.

Terms of Business Agreement credit terms should be adhered to.

You can have a dual ID to reconcile and authorise (This usually shows as ‘Both’). Maintenance:

AXA should be advised immediately of any amendments and deletions to Broker users.

AXA should be advised as soon as possible of any amendments to statement reconciliation groupings.

AXA are to be informed of any changes to bank account details that affect the Direct Debit facility at least 10 days before the next month end payment is due.

3. System availability, raising incidents and different user types System availability:

AXA systems are normally available between 5am and 8pm.

The systems may be available after 9.30pm (except at month end), but this normally cannot be guaranteed.

Raising incidents:

Report any incidents to your AXA Account Handler who will support the resolution of your incidents. Different user types: There are three different ‘user types’ which have access to e-Settlement; ‘Reconciler’, ‘Authoriser’ and ‘Both’.

A ’Reconciler’ will have access to complete the account reconciliation.

The ’Authoriser’ will have access to authorise reconciled balances for automated payment.

A ‘Both’ user type has access to reconcile the statement and authorise payment.

6. Reconcile statement Guidelines

Only one user at a time will be able to reconcile an account. If another user tries to open an additional reconciliation for your selected reconciliation group, whilst one is in progress, the following error message will be displayed to indicate this:

“Group XXX reconciliation in progress by user XXXX (name of user), only user (XXXX) will be able to re-open the selected group.”

You can reconcile and raise queries at the same time within a reconciliation. Once your reconciliation is in progress you will have the option to suspend it. This will allow you to re-open

the reconciliation again later. If you choose to part pay any entry you will be prompted to raise a query to provide the reason for the part

payment. The “Amount to Settle” field automatically shows the net balance for due or overdue entries if there is no

unresolved query. However, you can override this figure to a different amount. In this scenario you will be prompted straight away to raise a query. The values will be updated when you refresh the screen.

By clicking on an amount in either the ‘Gross’ or ‘Net’ columns you can override the figure in the ’Amount

to Settle’ field. If the amount settled is overwritten to the gross amount, you will also be requested to raise a query.

Where there is an outstanding query for a due or overdue item, the amount to settle will be displayed as

‘Nil’. You cannot override a debit entry to turn it into a credit entry.

For future entries the ‘Amount to Settle’ field will be set to 0.00 with the facility to override. Credit entries that are due back to you are selected in the same way as you would select a policy for

payment, but this will reduce the overall amount payable to AXA.
