Morgan Payments\u2019 capabilities<\/h3>\n<p>Toronto, ON (May 1, 2025) \u2013 Dream Payments is pleased to announce it has launched the <b>DreamPay Insurance Payment Hub<\/b> \u2014 a two-way insurance payment network operating seamlessly across <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>, leveraging J.P. Morgan Payments\u2019 capabilities. For the first time, insurers can accept premiums from policyholders in both the U.S. and <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>, and issue claims payments to individuals and businesses of every size, using digital or physical methods, all in one platform.<\/p>\n<p><b>A Network That Reaches Everyone, Everywhere<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With the DreamPay Insurance Payment Hub, insurers now gain access to the most expansive insurance payment network on the continent. The platform connects to over 350 million individuals and more than 30 million businesses across <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>. From policyholders in <span class=\"xn-location\">Toronto<\/span> to service providers in <span class=\"xn-location\">San Francisco<\/span>, insurers can initiate and receive payments across every relevant rail \u2014 from real-time payments and ACH in the U.S., to EFT and cheques in <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span> \u2014 and even reach any address on the continent for physical check delivery.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purpose-Built for Insurance Carriers<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Insurers aren\u2019t just looking for a vendor. They\u2019re searching for a strategic partner that understands the unique realities of the insurance industry \u2014 policy lifecycles, billing integrations, regulatory scrutiny, and the expectations of digital-first customers.<\/p>\n<p>The DreamPay Insurance Payment Hub was built from the ground up for this purpose. By leveraging J.P. Morgan Payments\u2019 pay-in and pay-out rails, it allows carriers to manage both inbound and outbound insurance payments through a modern API. It fits into the tools insurers already use \u2014 integrating with systems like Guidewire and Insurity \u2014 and brings modern infrastructure without requiring new banking relationships, vendor onboarding, or compliance overhauls.<\/p>\n<p><b>Premium Collection Enabled Across the U.S. and <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>In addition to its long-standing claims disbursement capabilities, Dream now enables insurance carriers to collect premiums from policyholders in both the U.S. and <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span> seamlessly and securely through <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4412205-1&amp;h=561129563&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpartners.jpmorgan.com%2Fdream-payments.html&amp;a=Dream%27s+integration+with+J.P.+Morgan+Payments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dream\u2019s integration with J.P.

Carriers can accept premium payments through trusted payment rails including credit and debit cards, as well as direct-from-bank payments \u2014 ACH in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> and EFT in <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>. Each transaction flows directly into the insurer\u2019s bank account, preserving treasury visibility while reducing delays and reconciliation effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe built the DreamPay Insurance Payment Hub to solve the exact pain points insurers face across <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>,\u201d said <span class=\"xn-person\">Brent Ho-Young<\/span>, CEO of Dream Payments.&nbsp; \u201cBy enabling premium collection and claims payments for insurers, MGAs, and TPAs across <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span> through our integration with J.P.

It processes nearly <span class=\"xn-money\">$10 trillion<\/span> payments daily, operating in over 160 countries and over 120 currencies.\u200d<\/p>\n<p><b>Dream Open Banking: Total Control, No Compromise<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dream\u2019s open banking model for insurers was designed with one principle in mind: insurers should never have to give up control to modernize payments. With other providers, insurers are often required to open new accounts or move funds through unfamiliar third-party platforms. That means float is lost, treasury oversight is weakened, and enterprise controls are diluted.<\/p>\n<p>Dream flips that model on its head.&nbsp; Instead of taking custody of the funds, Dream acts as a secure connective layer between insurance workflows and the banking accounts insurers already use and trust. All payments \u2014 inbound or outbound \u2014 can be initiated, settled, and reconciled through the insurer\u2019s existing banking accounts.&nbsp; There are no new accounts. No float loss. No fragmentation. Just complete control and full transparency \u2014 with faster, smarter movement of money.<\/p>\n<p><b>Modern Claims Payments Across North America<\/b><\/p>\n<p>For outbound claims payments, Dream integrates directly with leading claims platforms to automate disbursement and reconciliation. Claimants and service providers are guided through a clean, branded Payee Portal, where they can choose how and where they want to receive their funds.&nbsp; In the U.S., Dream supports disbursement via real-time payments, ACH, virtual cards, and traditional checks. In <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>, supported methods include EFT, virtual cards, and cheque delivery.<\/p>\n<p><b>Meet Dream at the 2025 Payments Canada SUMMIT<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dream Payments will be live at the 2025 Payments Canada SUMMIT in <span class=\"xn-location\">Toronto<\/span>, hosting executive meetings with insurance leaders and participating in the SUMMIT programming.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"smallhead\">About Dream Payments<\/h4>\n<p>Dream Payments is a leading API and Embedded Payments Platform, trusted by two of North America\u2019s top 10 financial institutions, leading insurance carriers, and software platforms like Guidewire and Insurity.
