Your premiums are guaranteed to stay the same for the entire 10- or 20-year term of your policy.

You may pay for your policy on a monthly or annual basis.

• If you are paying by monthly pre-authorized debit, we will automatically debit your account when you are approved for coverage.
• If you select to pay on an annual basis, we will send out an invoice for the annual premium.
• If you buy your coverage online, a credit card in the name of the policyholder will be required to purchase.
