What is National General Insurance?
National General Insurance Company (NGIC) is a major U.S. insurance provider that offers auto insurance, homeowners insurance, renters insurance, RV insurance, motorcycle insurance, and other personal lines. The company was founded in 1939 and grew to become one of the largest non-standard auto insurers in the country.
In January 2021, Allstate acquired National General Holdings Corp for approximately $4 billion. Since the acquisition, National General operates as a subsidiary of Allstate, but many policies continue to be billed under the National General name. That's why you might see "NATIONAL GENERAL," "NATL GENERAL INS," or "ALLSTATE NATL GEN" on your bank statement — they all refer to the same insurance company.
National General is especially popular among drivers who purchase insurance through independent agents or online comparison tools. If you recently shopped for auto insurance, there's a good chance National General was the carrier that underwrote your policy — even if you didn't interact with them directly.

Why does National General appear on my bank statement?
A National General charge shows up for one simple reason: you have an active insurance policy with them and a payment was processed. Here are the most common scenarios:
- You purchased auto insurance through an independent agent or comparison website (like The Zebra, Policygenius, or Gabi) and National General was the carrier that underwrote your policy
- You set up automatic monthly payments (auto-pay) when you enrolled, and this is your recurring premium charge
- You made a one-time payment toward your insurance policy — either the full 6-month or 12-month premium, or a partial payment
- Your insurance policy renewed automatically and the new term's premium was charged to your account
- A family member on your bank account purchased or renewed a National General insurance policy
What types of insurance does National General provide?
While auto insurance is by far the most common reason for a National General charge, the company offers several types of coverage:
- Auto insurance — standard and non-standard (high-risk) auto coverage, the most common source of bank statement charges
- Homeowners insurance — coverage for your home structure, personal property, and liability
- Renters insurance — personal property and liability coverage for tenants
- RV and motorcycle insurance — specialty vehicle coverage
- Umbrella insurance — additional liability coverage beyond your auto or homeowners policy limits
- Lender-placed insurance — coverage placed by a mortgage company when the borrower's insurance lapses
