Initial Premium Bank Draft Update

We recently informed you of a technical issue with our initial premium payment drafts. We have fixed the issue and the bank drafts for initial premium are functioning like normal. When your client requests a specific date for the first premium draft, their bank account will be drafted on the day they requested – not a few days later. If your client picks the second Tuesday of each month – their payment will come out on the second Tuesday of each month. Don’t forget to let your clients know they have options when selecting the date their payment comes out.
