NRMA INS*

Why does this charge appear?

When NRMA Insurance processes premium payments through its billing system, the transaction is submitted to card networks using a shortened merchant descriptor, which is why "NRMA INS*" appears on your bank statement rather than the full company name. The asterisk in the descriptor is a standard truncation marker used by payment processors to separate the merchant identifier from additional transaction reference data, a common practice among large Australian insurers handling high volumes of recurring monthly premiums. If you hold an NRMA Insurance policy for your car, home, or boat and recently paid or renewed your premium, the NRMA INS* charge is almost certainly the legitimate debit from that policy.

What should you do?

Identify your NRMA Insurance policy

The charge labeled NRMA INS* on your bank statement is a premium payment for an NRMA Insurance policy covering auto, home, or boat insurance in Australia. Log in to your NRMA account at nrma.com.au to confirm which policy this payment is linked to and verify the amount matches your expected premium.

Verify the charge amount against your policy
