A failed debit order isn’t a glitch. It’s a lapsed policy waiting to happen.

When a premium bounces, the clock starts. Often the policyholder never meant to miss it: payday moved, the account was short for a day, or the bank changed.

Your reminder reaches them the same morning, in their own language, with a way to pay in one tap. The policy stays on your books, and the family stays covered.

  • Recover before the 15-day grace period ends
  • Fewer lapses, fewer complaints
  • Predictable premium income every month

When a policyholder wants to keep their cover, paying should be easy.

Three easy ways to pay

A payment link, cash at a till with a reference, or a fixed debit order. Every payment settles straight into your account. Keepbrook never holds the money.

Keepbrook is software you use. Three things are always true.

You reach your policyholders with Keepbrook. It never stands between you and them, or between them and their payment.

Your name, your number

Every message goes out in your name, from your own WhatsApp number and SMS sender, using wording you approved.

Your account, never ours

Every payment goes straight to your own account. Keepbrook never holds the money.

Your team, not ours

Nobody at Keepbrook speaks to a policyholder. Replies the approved scripts cannot answer go to your own team.
