Shelter Insurance taps One Inc to digitise payments. September 23, 2026 One Inc, a payments network built specifically for the insurance sector, has been chosen by Shelter Insurance Companies to overhaul how the carrier's customers pay premiums and receive claims. Shelter will deploy One Inc's ClaimsPay(R) and PremiumPay(R) products, bringing money coming in and money going out onto a single platform. The move is designed to centralise the insurer's payment operations and give its policyholders an end-to-end digital experience. Through the arrangement, Shelter customers will gain access to a broad mix of digital payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Venmo, with bank accounts and debit cards still available. One Inc can also handle intricate transactions involving several parties, such as payments to lienholders and mortgagees. Shelter said this capability was essential for its needs.

The company says this approach removes isolated pockets of data and makes treasury work simpler by consolidating reconciliation into one environment. Shelter will also be able to tap One Inc's network of more than 1.3 million vendors, spanning auto, legal and medical providers. According to One Inc, each new connection adds value for every member of the network, which in turn speeds up the move to digital payments. Established in 1946, Shelter and its subsidiaries offer home and auto cover via a network of over 2,000 agents operating in 20 states. The insurer had been looking for a payments setup that could make life easier for customers while also bringing its treasury functions together. One Inc serves more than 320 insurance carriers and focuses exclusively on the insurance market. Its platform aims to lower costs, strengthen security and improve the customer experience, offering varied payment options, communication across multiple channels and rapid claims settlement, including for complicated cases. One Inc CEO Ian Drysdale said, "Shelter's selection of One Inc's payment solutions marks another significant step toward delivering a seamless payment experience for its customers. We're excited to partner with Shelter as it modernizes its operations and embraces the advantages of digital payments, tapping into our network to increase their competitive edge. Shelter joins a growing wave of carriers leveraging payments technology to build agile, future-ready digital infrastructure." Shelter vice president of financial operations Mark Stinson said, "Our decision to partner with One Inc was driven by their ability to deliver a comprehensive, enterprise solution that supports our ongoing system modernization efforts. "With One Inc, we can streamline both inbound premium payments and outbound claims disbursements, while gaining access to their network of vendors that helps accelerate adoption of electronic claims payments and improve efficiency.
