SAVE THREE OR FIVE

Beginning April 1, 2008, Grain Dealers Mutual has opened up our EFT program to all insureds. Now your customer will have the option to "Save Three" or "Five" dollars in monthly billing fees by signing up for the monthly EFT draft. All North Carolina Insureds will save $3 and all other Insureds will save $5. An insured must have a valid e-mail address so we can notify them of any changes to their bill and remind them of payments to be withdrawn 10 days before the transaction is made.

A notice will be sent out in all policies to the insured explaining this new feature. The form to sign up is located on-line at www.graindealers.com, under "For Our Insureds," "Payment Options," and "EFT Processing" link. The insured simply prints the form, fills it out, and attaches a voided check. The form can then be e-mailed to gdmicpsc@graindealers.com, faxed to 1-800-828-4124, or mailed with their next payment. Insureds may also contact the Policyholder Service Center by phone at 1-800-486-4567 or e-mail to gdmicpsc@graindealers.com with questions or to request a form.
