My Banking

Can my monthly premium payments come out of a different account than my direct deposit reimbursements? Icon/UI/plus-circle

Yes, members can have different bank accounts listed for their direct deposit and monthly premium payments.

If my monthly premiums are to be coming out of my account soon, can I still change my monthly payment account? Icon/UI/plus-circle

It takes a few business days for your new account information to take effect in our system. If your premiums are scheduled to come out of your account within that time frame, the payment may come out of your old account until the new information has been processed.

Can I make a partial payment through the portal instead of the full renewal amount? Icon/UI/plus-circle

  • Pay annually via credit card, with one lump sum payment, or
  • Make smaller payments by setting up monthly withdrawals direct from your bank account
Where can I find my bank account information? Icon/UI/plus-circle

If there is a small, green ‘Active’ tag beside the Direct Deposit option within your member portal, your banking information is already active and does not need to be added. You only need to fill this information out if your banking information has changed.

All of the required bank account information can be found on a cheque or through your online banking account.

If I have more than one plan on my portal, do I need to specify which plan the submitted document is related to? Icon/UI/plus-circle
