You went looking for Infinite Banking, or maybe “be your own bank,” and a max funded IUL came back as the answer: market-linked growth, tax-free access, no downside. On paper, it sounds like whole life, only better. A max funded IUL is an indexed universal life policy funded at or near the maximum premium the…
Once you have learned the fundamentals of Infinite Banking and decided to put it into action, one question tends to surface almost immediately: What is the best whole life insurance company for Infinite Banking? It is a good question. The carrier you choose forms a long-term relationship, one that stays in place for the rest…
A straight life policy is simply the base of a whole life insurance contract: a level premium that never changes, a guaranteed death benefit, and guaranteed cash value. If you’ve been researching Infinite Banking, it’s the same permanent insurance you’ve already been learning about, just under an older name. People run into “straight life” or…

IUL gets pitched to young professionals, families, business owners, retirees, and pretty much everyone in between.
