Initial Payment by Bank Draft (EFT)

Please be sure the information on the form is accurate and that the client understands that their account will be drafted for the initial premium as soon as we issue the policy.

2. Attach a voided check or deposit slip from the account to be drafted or complete the account information section on the Initial Payment by Bank Draft, form LA-4030.
3. Indicate the draft date on the EFT form.
