Payments FAQs

For Apia insurance policies that can be renewed online, you can pay via our Secure Online Payment portal using Visa, MasterCard or American Express.

You can use Visa, MasterCard or American Express when paying your policy renewal online.

For information on other ways to pay, please refer to our Renewal page.

Please note that online renewal is not available for certain products. To further discuss your renewal options, contact us.

Your Apia Insurance policy certificate will tell you when your premiums are due. Alternatively, you can login to Apia Online Services to find out.

If you don’t receive a confirmation of payment immediately when you pay online, wait 1-3 days as your payment could be delayed due to public holidays or the weekend.

If after that time nothing has changed, get in touch with your bank to make sure everything is okay with your account and that it hasn’t expired. Your bank may also take a couple of days to register the payment, but if there’s nothing wrong with your account please contact us and we’ll look into it for you.
