About Western National Insurance Group
Western National Insurance Group is a regional property and casualty insurance company that provides a range of personal and commercial insurance products, such as auto, homeowners, renters, umbrella, and various business insurance policies. Operating primarily through independent insurance agents, they focus on customers in the Midwest and several other U.S. states, with underwriting, claims, and policy services handled from their headquarters in Minnesota.
A card statement line like “INS.PREM WESTERN NATIONAL PPD THOMAS WALSH” typically represents an electronic payment (often an ACH/PPD or card-based payment) of an insurance premium to Western National Insurance Group. The “INS.PREM” portion indicates an insurance premium, “WESTERN NATIONAL” is the insurer, and the name (e.g., “THOMAS WALSH”) generally refers to the policyholder or account holder whose policy or billing profile the payment is associated with. Charges may be one‑time payments for a billed premium, or recurring debits set up for monthly, quarterly, or annual automatic payments.
If you have questions about this charge, the best approach is to locate your Western National policy documents or recent billing notices and compare the amount and date to the transaction on your statement. You can also contact the independent insurance agent who services your Western National policy or reach out directly to Western National’s customer service via the contact information listed on their official website or your policy paperwork. If you do not recognize the name on the descriptor or believe the charge is in error, contact both your bank and Western National promptly, and be prepared with your policy number, payment date, and transaction amount to help them investigate.
