Q. Can I have my premium automatically withdrawn from my checking account?

A. Yes, this method of payment is called the Premium Payment Service Plan or simply The Bank Plan. You need to fill in a form and return it with a check marked "void" from your account and a payment great enough to cover your premiums up to and including the current month. This will give us time to set up arrangements with your bank and allow us to make a charge starting in the following month on the day you specify. You may obtain the form by clicking here*.

Q. Why choose the Premium Payment Service Plan?

A. Convenience, security and speed of processing. You choose the day of the month you want the premium withdrawn. There is no cost for postage to you. The payment will always be on time.

Q. How does my bank account stay protected?

A. Bankers will withdraw premium payments only as authorized by you. If we make an error, we will correct it when notified. We also protect your bank from loss due to our actions.

Q. Can I pay for more than one policy on the Premium Payment Service Plan?

A. Yes, you can pay any or all of your policies or certificates through the Premium Payment Service Plan with one monthly charge being made on your bank account.

Q. Can I pay by the Premium Payment Service Plan through my savings account?

A. Yes, just complete the bank form and return it with an encoded deposit ticket, if you have one, and a payment great enough to cover your premium up to and including the current month. If you don’t have an encoded deposit ticket, check with your bank for their transit/routing number. Be sure to show your bank’s transit number and your account number on the form.

Q. Can I change the date my charges are withdrawn if I find the current date inconvenient?

A. Yes, just let us know which day you’d prefer.

Q. When will my first charge be made?

A. The day the charge is sent depends on the month your policy comes due and the day your have chosen to have the charge made. For instance if your policy is due on December 31st and you have chosen a charge date of the 1st, the first charge will be made on December 1st. It will pay from December 31st to January 31st.

Q. What happens if I change banks?

A. If you change banks and still want the plan, you must let us or our local office know and fill in a new form (click here)*. When you call or write tell us which day of the month your payment is withdrawn and let us know when you want the last charge sent to your old account and when you want the first charge sent to your new account. You must allow time for us to stop the charges to your old account we suggest 10 working days. You may have to send a payment with your new authorization form if one is due and you don’t want it automatically withdrawn. If you call, we will give you that information.

Q. When can I cancel the Premium Payment Service Plan?

A. Anytime you wish. However, you should keep in mind that the monthly charge is prepared a few days before the due date so it will arrive at your bank on the day you designate.

You must be sure we will have your request to stop the charge at least 10 working days before the next charge is due. You can write us or call the local office with your request. If you choose to write, please be sure you give us ample time to receive and process your request.
