What are my payment options?

We have many payment options available for your convenience. The simplest way to pay is on our MyKEY Portal, where you can pay online with your credit card. We also accept Checks, Debit/Credit Card, Direct Debit, and electronic fund transfers via mail or over the phone.
For peace of mind, you may want to consider set up an Autopay – no installment fees, no late payments and no lost mail. Contact your agent to enroll today.

How do I find my agent?

Your current agent and their contact information is listed on all policy documents, most correspondence we send via mail or e-mail, and can be found on your policy homepage on our MyKEY Portal. If your agent changes, it will be updated on these forms once the change is processed and becomes effective.

Why/When should I contact an agent?

Your agent is your advisor and guides you in insurance matters. They can help assess your risks and review your coverage options. You should reach out to your agent to review coverage generally and in the event of a claim, update policy information as you renovate & upgrade your home, and modify your billing options, such as autopay.
Keeping your information up to date as you renovate your home can save you money on your premium. Please reach out to your agent to see how you could save.

Why do you need to inspect my property?

Periodically, we may request a visual inspection of your property to ensure that your investment in your home is properly protected. The main purpose is to review the condition of the property for developing risks and hazards. This may be performed by one of our vendor partners or we may offer you a self-inspection.

What is self-inspection all about?

We have partnered with Flyreel® to offer a virtual inspection experience. Through their app, you can document your home and provide essential information yourself. This eliminates the need to arrange for an inspector to visit your property, allowing you to complete the inspection at a time that is convenient to you. We have more information available about this process here.

Can I change my policy or coverage?

Yes, your coverage can be amended to better suit your needs. Please note that some changes and coverages may have a waiting period before they come into effect.

Please contact your insurance agent to discuss your policy needs.
