FAQ

How can I change the frequency or date of my life insurance premium payments?

Short Answer:

Oh, changing the date or frequency of your premium payments? Absolutely—just give us a call or speak to your advisor directly and request that they work their scheduling sorcery on your account. If phone calls make you queasy, you can usually tweak it online too (no magic wand required). Then sit back, relax, and let your payments dance to your new tune. Easy-peasy!

Long answer:

Review Your Policy Documents

Look for the section of your policy that discusses payment terms and options. This can provide initial guidance on whether changes to payment frequency or dates are allowed and what options are available.

Contact Your Insurance Provider

Sure thing! Just give your friendly life insurance advisor a shout. You can do it the old-fashioned way (phone), the modern way (email), or the "I-don't-want-to-talk-to-anyone" way (online portal).

Ask them for the lowdown on tweaking your payment schedule—monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual—and while you're at it, see if you can nudge that due date to something a bit friendlier for your wallet. see-No sweat!

Complete the Required Forms

You might need to do the thrilling task of filling out a form—yes, paperwork, everyone’s favourite pastime! Whether it’s an old-school physical form or a snazzy online request, it’s all part of the glamorous world of premium schedule changes. Don’t lose sleep over it—just give us a call if you need a hand. We’ve got you covered—literally and figuratively!

Verify Payment Method Compatibility

If you're on autopilot with your payments, whether through your bank or credit card, don’t forget to give those settings a nudge—your new payment schedule isn’t going to update itself, unfortunately! AKA: make sure to update the billing settings to reflect the new payment schedule.

Confirm the Change

.Once your request is handled, your advisor will send you a confirmation—because who doesn’t love a good “we got it” message? Take a peek to ensure the new frequency or date matches what you asked for because, let’s face it, surprise payment schedules are nobody’s idea of fun.

Monitor Your Payments

Keep an eye on your payments next billing cycle—because trust, but verify, right? If anything looks off, give your insurer a quick call and kindly remind them you're not funding their next office party.

Tips to Keep in Mind:

  • Switching up your payment schedule? Smart move—just keep in mind it might shuffle your budget around, so don’t be caught off guard.

  • Some insurers can be a bit rigid about how often they’ll let you change things, so check their fine print (or just ask nicely).

  • Oh, and whatever you do, don’t miss a payment during the switchover—losing coverage isn’t exactly the kind of thrill anyone’s looking for.

Work with your insurer, dot your i’s, cross your t’s, and voilà—you’ll have a payment plan that plays nice with your wallet."
