How do payments work?

Your life insurance payment is called a premium and is automatically charged monthly using your saved payment method.


Your first payment

Your first premium is charged after you accept your offer and enter your payment information.

  • Coverage begins as soon as your first payment is successful

  • Your policy will be available shortly after purchase (usually within minutes, but up to 1–3 business days in some cases)


Ongoing payments

  • Your premium is charged monthly on the same date as your first payment

  • You’ll receive an email confirmation for each successful payment

As long as your payments are up to date, your policy remains active (also called “in force”).
