Auto Pay Start

Policy holders may prefer to have automatic payments made to the policy that are directly deducted from their bank account(s) on a regular basis. This is common for insurance products, since it saves the policy holder the time and effort of mailing checks.

The AutoPayStart activity is a system generated activity that allows a user to initiate the automatic payment to the policy. On processing the AutoPayStart activity, AutoPay is spawned, which in turn spawns AutoPay for the next designated period.
