Payment and billing information
General payment information
Who do I contact if I have questions about my payments?
If you have questions about your policy or need to change your payment method, please contact your Wawanesa Insurance broker. If you have a home or personal auto insurance policy, you can quickly find your broker’s contact information when you enrol in Member Centre.

Where can I find my policy number?
You can find your policy number on your insurance policy and bill. Learn where to find these on your documents.
How do I find the amount owing and due date of my next payment(s)?
For your home or personal auto insurance policy, the easiest way to see and make upcoming payments is through Member Centre.
