FAQ's
-
Yes it is. As part of our payments process review, we’ve identified customers who have been paying premiums into one of our bank accounts which is different from the one allocated to their policy type. To ensure the payments are correctly allocated to their policy on time, we are sending out communications to those customers requesting them to update their bank accounts that they pay their premiums into or better yet switch to our DD payment method.
-
We’ve not changed our bank but have changed the account suffix in which the payment for your policy type is paid into for it to be allocated against the policy. This changed happened a little over 2 years ago and we’d missed sending out communications to some of our customers and continued to move their premium payments to the correct account manually.
