How to Set Up Recurring Payments
The easiest way to take paying your Farmers insurance bill off your to-do list is to enroll in recurring automatic payments. With autopay, the payment amount will be automatically deducted from your chosen bank account or credit card on the bill due date each month.
To set up recurring payments:
-
Log into your Farmers account online or through the mobile app
-
Under “Payment Options”, click on “Recurring Payments”
-
Choose the account you want payments to be drawn from
-
Select the date you want payments to be made each month
-
Enter your payment information
-
Review the terms and click “Accept”
-
You’re all set! Sit back and relax knowing your bill will now be paid automatically every month.
The great thing about autopay is that you can change or cancel it at any time if you need to update your payment method information or switch to manual payments. Just log into your account and go to “Recurring Payments” to manage your preference.
Ways to Pay Your Farmers Insurance Bill
When it comes time to pay your Farmers bill each month, you have several convenient payment options:
Pay online through the Farmers website or mobile app using your checking/savings account, credit card, or debit card. Make one-time payments or set up autopay.
Pay by phone by calling Farmers billing services at 1-800-435-7764. Use an automated system to pay with your checking account or speak with a representative to make a card payment.
Pay by mail with a personal check or money order. Be sure to include your remittance slip and allow up to 7-10 days for delivery. Send to: Farmers Insurance, PO Box 268994, Oklahoma City, OK 73126.
Pay in person at an authorized Farmers agent location. Call ahead to ask your agent if they accept payments. Bring your bill and payment.
No matter which option you choose, be sure to pay your bill by the due date listed to avoid any late fees or lapses in coverage. I recommend enrolling in autopay or keeping reminders in your calendar so your payment is always on time.
Avoid Late Fees and Lapsed Coverage
The last thing you want is surprise late fees or a cancellation notice from Farmers because you paid your bill past the due date. Here are some tips to help avoid that scenario:
-
Enroll in autopay as your first line of defense against tardy payments. Automating your bill ensures it’s paid on time, every time.
-
Mark payment due dates in your calendar with a reminder a week before the deadline. Schedule time to log in and pay online or mail your check.
-
Update your payment info promptly if your credit card expires or you close a bank account. This prevents failed automatic payments.
-
Contact Farmers right away if you’ll be late with a payment due to unforeseen circumstances. They may grant a short grace period.
-
Call billing services if you don’t receive an invoice. They can verify your balance and due date so you can submit payment.
-
Review billing statements for changes in coverage or premium amounts that would affect what you owe that month.
A little planning goes a long way when it comes to paying your Farmers insurance on time. Dodging avoidable late fees helps you keep more money in your pocket.
