You can pay your life insurance premiums monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, and you can pay online or through the mail.
If you plan to pay quarterly, semi-annually or annually, you have three payment options:
- Electronic funds transfer (EFT) from a checking or savings account
- Automatic credit card deduction
- Be billed by mail and pay by personal check
If you plan to pay monthly, consider having your payment deducted from a checking or savings account. To set that up, download the Authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), which will allow us to deduct your premium monthly from your checking or savings account.
