We’re proud to recognize the partners who have helped move Paperclip—and our industry—forward.”

Carrier Partnership Award

The Carrier Partnership Award honors Carrier partners whose trust, collaboration and commitment have helped advance Paperclip’s success and improve how the industry works. This year’s honorees are:

  • Pacific Life: Pacific Life is a leader in removing paper from the life insurance process between distributors and carriers.

David McNamara accepted the award on behalf of Pacific Life.
  • Prudential: A Paperclip Internet eXpress customer since 2001, Prudential has long championed secure document exchange and workflow automation.
