Paying Insurance Premiums
How can I pay for life insurance premiums? You can choose to pay your life insurance premiums monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
If you decide that a monthly payment plan is best for you, then please download the Authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), which will allow us to deduct your premium monthly from your checking or savings account. If a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual payment plan is best for you, you can choose one of three payment options: Electronic Funds Transfer from a checking or savings account, Automatic Credit Card deduction, or you can receive a bill by mail and pay by personal check. For information regarding the Automatic Credit Card option or to change the frequency or your payment, please call us at 1 800 842-2776 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. (ET).
