Payments and Billing

When you pay online or over the phone, we'll send you a confirmation email after you make a payment.

Here's what else you can do to confirm a payment:

• Log in to My Account to see the payment in your transaction history. Keep in mind, it generally takes 24-48 hours for online payments to be reflected on your policy.
• Contact your bank or financial institution to verify the amount was deducted from your bank account or charged to your credit account, depending on how you paid.

Missing or late payments could cause a lapse in coverage, or the cancellation or termination of your policy.

If you've missed a payment or are late with a payment, contact your agent or call us at 1-877-810-2920 for more help.

For auto and property policies, we accept the following forms of payment:

• Visa, MasterCard^®, Discover^® and American Express^® credit and debit cards
• Bank accounts, using routing and account numbers
• Personal checks and money orders

If you pay online or using the app, you'll be able to save a payment option.

For life insurance policies, we accept the following forms of payment:

• Pre-authorized payments, which automatically deducts your life insurance payment from your bank account (To enroll, contact your agent)
• Check by mail to the address on your statement

If you aren't able to pay online, here's what you can try instead:

• Call our automated pay-by-phone system, which is available anytime: 1-800-901-1732. Make sure you have your policy number and form of payment ready when you call
• Call your agent to pay

For most insurance policy types, you can pay any amount between the "minimum amount due" and the "pay in full", as indicated on your bill. For life insurance policies, you should pay the full amount due as indicated on your bill.

• Update your billing information
• Suspend (pause) an automatic payment for one payment cycle*
• Change the date of your automatic payment*
• Cancel automatic payments completely
