Take rate is an additional percentage added on the the base APR to the insured's finance agreement that are paid to your organization. This allows your organization to participate in the benefits of the financing. Take rate is one form of revenue sharing.

Take rate is paid out on the 15th of each month for all finance agreements initiated since the 15th of the previous month.

By adding a take rate, your organization will earn additional revenue when an insured chooses to finance their programs.

Your partner retail agencies and the insureds will not see a breakdown of any take rate added by your team. Your adjustments will be included directly into the APR.

Admins & Accountants users in your organization's workspace have the ability to add a take rate on top of the base rate used to calculate your insured's APR for financed policies.
