Life insurance payment changes, effective July 1 |
Effective July 1, 2018, Nationwide will modify policies for life insurance policy payments to guard against fraud and money laundering. “Bank cards” include both credit and debit cards. Changes include:
- Types of payments: Only the payment of premium will be permitted. Bankcard payments will not be accepted for loan repayments or payments to the Advanced Premium Fund (APF).
- The frequency of payments: The payment mode will determine how often a bankcard can be used to make a payment. For example, a policy on Quarterly Mode is limited to a maximum of four bankcard payments per year.
- The timing of payments: Bankcard payments can be made a maximum of 45 days prior to the premium due date.
We’re here to help – For more information, please call our sales desk.
