If the insured wants to break his premium payments into more payments over time, the total premium will be higher. The frequency of payments is referred to as the premium mode. The premium mode is important because the insurance company invests received premiums and will use income from that for future settlements. When the insured wants more payments over time, the company loses possible interest earned and therefore charge the insured a higher premium amount to make up for this potential loss.
