Paperless Billing Statement Enrollment is now Available
NAU Country offers a convenient and clutter-free solution with Paperless Billing Statements. Paperless billing eliminates extra paper mail, while also helping the environment, and did we mention it cuts back on the clutter? By going paperless, your farmers will receive a billing notification via email, and can access their statement by utilizing our free online Farmer Portal.
If your policyholder is not signed up for Paperless Billing, they will receive the standard mailed billing statement. A brochure with details about Paperless Billing will be included with this statement. Instructions are included on how to sign up and enroll. NOW is the time to talk to your policyholders on how to sign up for a Farmer Portal account and our Paperless Billing option!
How does Paperless Billing work?
Once Billing Statements are generated, your farmer will be sent an email notification letting them know that a billing statement is available for viewing on the Farmer Portal. The Farmer Portal opening page displays your current amount due, along with a link to view their detailed Billing Statement. That’s not all! They can view their statement and pay their bill, all in one location! Take advantage of the simplicity and convenience!
How to enroll?
- Navigate to https://www.naucountry.com/.

- Set up Email(s) to Receive Notice.
- This section allows your farmer to set up the individuals that will receive a notification when a Billing Statement is available.
- Important: The email notification does not include the Billing Statement. It provides a link to the Farmer Portal. The farmer must have a Farmer Account to access the statement. Therefore, if your farmer adds additional email addresses to receive notification, they must have a Farmer Account to see the statement.

- Click on each of the Required Statement links to review.

* If they are linked to multiple Farm Accounts, the Paperless Billing Statement Enrollment will need to be setup or removed individually for each Farm Account.
What does the Billing Statement notification email include?
When a Billing Statement has been generated, they will receive an email from nau-billing@naucountry.com titled, "New NAU Country Billing Statement Now Available". The email provides a link to access the Farmer Portal for viewing. *Note: The Billing Statement is not included in the email notification.
How can they pay their bill?
There are five options available for payment. Three of these options are available in the Billing Summary window mentioned above.
- Enroll = They can conveniently pay their monthly statement or set up future payments in our Online Pay system.

- Pay by Mail = They can print their recent statement, and send their remittance slip, along with payment to the address provided in the Print by Mail popup window.
- Pay by Phone with Checking or Savings account = They can utilize our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) feature to pay their bill via phone by calling 1.866.350.7603. The system will guide them through the steps for a successful payment from their checking or savings account.
