Payment options

During the Canada Post strike, we encourage you to use online options for paying your policy premium. You can pay online by credit card or through your financial institution through online banking.

We have many options available so you can select the payment methods that work best for you.

Set up monthly automatic payments

Make pre-authorized monthly payments through your bank account.

Our most convenient payment option -- also known as the Monthly Automatic Chequing plan (MAC plan) -- comes with many benefits.

  • Have multiple Wawanesa policies? All your payments will be combined into one.
  • Better manage your budget by selecting your own monthly withdrawal date.
  • No more worrying about managing your bills month-to-month.

To set up monthly automatic payments for your policy, please contact your Wawanesa Insurance broker.

  • For new members: When you enroll in our monthly automatic payment plan, we’ll divide your annual insurance premium (plus any additional taxes/fees) into 12 equal withdrawals from your bank account. We’ll collect the first payment within five days of your policy effective date to serve as a down payment, ensuring coverage from the start of your term. We’ll withdraw the following monthly payments on a scheduled day of your choosing. When you renew your insurance policy, your monthly payments will continue on your scheduled day.
  • For existing members: We'll continue collecting your annual insurance premium (plus any additional fees/taxes) in 12 equal monthly payments on your scheduled day.
  • Monthly automatic payments are subject to eligibility and cannot be combined with other payment options.
  • If your bank account information changes, we'll need your updated account information at least 10 days before your next scheduled withdrawal. Please contact your Wawanesa Insurance broker about changes as soon as you can to avoid additional fees.
  • A $40.00 NSF fee is applied to payments returned due to insufficient funds.
