ENGLEWOOD, N.J. - AstroBug -- M.J. Hall & Company Insurance Brokers (M.J. Hall) and iBynd, LLC (iBynd) have teamed up to offer independent agents immediate ability to digitally rate, quote and bind commercial insurance. Powered by iBynd's proprietary platform, M.J.

Real time access to manage business includes streamlined, accurate quotes, producer control panel, and point-of-sale documentation. Security is a top priority with iBynd's solution. Data is encrypted in flight and at rest in database to ensure secure transactions, with data backups and disaster recovery also included.

"The implementation with M.J. Hall was a win all around. We leveraged existing carrier integrations, a core competency of iBynd's platform, to provide M.J. Hall's agents with a smooth, accurate rate-quote-bind process and simple, accessible business management," said Phil Friedman, CEO of iBynd. "Our strong history with insurance carriers and wholesale distributors allowed us to quickly implement M.J. Hall's instance and accelerate their agents' success with digital delivery of A-rated insurance. We are thrilled to empower M.J.
