What are the steps to complete an electronic check payment?

  1. Click on the above link “Make Electronic Payment Here” to begin the payment process.
  2. On the first screen:
    • Select the payment type.
    • Select the method of payment.
    • Key in the active policy number or Texana contract number and the first 3 characters of your last name.
    • Click “GO.”
  3. If there is a payment due on the policy, scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the amount of the payment.  The system will allow you to make a payment of any amount between the current due and the total due on the policy.  After an amount is selected, click “CONTINUE.”
  4. A valid bank account type, transit/routing number, and account number must now be entered.  A check number may be entered, but is not required to complete the transaction.  Terms and Conditions are available for review.  To complete the electronic check payment you must click “Submit”, which indicates that you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions.
  5. If the electronic check transaction was successful, a message will appear indicating that your “Payment Successfully Posted” and will provide you with a receipt.  This receipt may be printed for your records.

***Please be sure NOT TO USE the “back button” on your browser after clicking the “Submit” button, as this could initiate multiple payments from your bank account.

***If you receive a message “Please type correct policy number and first three letters of last name,”  or “Please type correct contract number and first three letters of last name,”  this means the policy or contract number and/or the first three characters of the name are invalid.  Please check the information you keyed or call your agency for verification.
