WASHINGTON, D.C., October 25, 2011 – GEICO  understands how customers want to handle their insurance business these days - easy and fast - so it is launching a new GEICO Facebook app called "GEICO Shortcuts," to give GEICO policyholders access to their insurance information using the functionality of the popular social networking site.

"Facebook’s dramatic growth has significantly changed the way people consume information," said Steve Smith, GEICO assistant vice president for information technology. "We’ve created an app that makes it easier for customers to get access to GEICO within the Facebook environment."

Here are some features of the GEICO Shortcuts app:

•    Pay your bill (via a stored account or using the one-time card option)
•    Retrieve your ID cards to save or print
•    View GEICO Privileges deals
•    Rate Caveman Photo Crasher photos
•    Unlock tokens by performing certain tasks within the Facebook app
