Frequently Asked Questions About Privatized Banking Solutions
Why haven't I heard about IBC before?
There are several reasons why you may not have heard about the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) before. The concept is relatively new, with Nelson Nash's book 'Becoming Your Own Banker' only published in 2000. Additionally, there's a shortage of effective IBC practitioners teaching the concept. Many people, including financial advisors and potential clients, often lack the time or inclination to properly educate themselves about IBC. Lastly, conventional financial wisdom typically encourages storing and investing money in ways that relinquish control, which is contrary to IBC principles.
How does IBC work?
IBC operates by utilizing a specially designed dividend-paying whole life insurance policy from a mutual company as a cash storage vehicle. This policy offers guaranteed growth, a death benefit, and potential dividends, all of which are generally tax-free. You can borrow against this policy to finance purchases or investments, repaying yourself with interest. This method provides you with control over your finances, allowing you to pay off debts, fund investments, or make purchases while maintaining ownership of your money. The key advantage of IBC is the control it offers over your financial decisions and the ability to use your money multiple times.
How are IBC policies typically funded?
IBC policies are typically funded through a process called 'capitalization'. This can be achieved through various means, often by identifying and redirecting existing cash flow inefficiencies. Common funding sources include savings, bonuses, tax refunds, investments, windfalls, or funds allocated for specific purposes like holiday spending or repairs. The goal is to make your money work harder by giving it multiple uses. While each situation is unique, most people can find ways to fund their IBC policy by reassessing their current financial habits and redirecting underutilized funds.
This is starting to sound too good to be true. What's the catch?
It's natural to be skeptical about financial strategies that seem unusually beneficial. We encourage thorough research and understanding before committing to IBC. Start by reading Nelson Nash's book, 'Becoming Your Own Banker', and ask questions. IBC is a long-term strategy that requires careful consideration and agreement between partners. Our role is to educate and facilitate, not to sell. Remember, banking is as crucial to your financial life as your career, so it's worth taking the time to become proficient in both.
Is this financially sustainable for the life insurance company if everyone does this?
Life insurance companies, particularly mutual companies offering dividend-paying whole life policies, are designed to be financially stable and sustainable. Unlike market-linked products, these policies are not directly tied to market fluctuations. Insurance companies are strictly regulated and required to maintain substantial reserves, often 400-600% or more. They employ actuaries to accurately predict claims and manage risk, even accounting for catastrophic events. This conservative approach has allowed these companies to consistently pay dividends for over a century. It's worth comparing this level of financial stability to that of traditional banks, which typically maintain much lower reserves.
Can IBC be used to fund my child's college education?
IBC can be an effective tool for funding college education. One significant advantage is that the cash value of a dividend-paying whole life insurance policy is typically not considered when applying for financial aid, potentially increasing eligibility for assistance. The policy can be used to finance education directly, or to quickly repay student loans after graduation. The graduate can then make repayments to the policy. This approach offers flexibility and potential financial benefits. There are various strategies families can employ using IBC for education funding, and we can explore options tailored to your specific situation.
What are some of the caveats of using IBC?
While IBC offers many benefits, there are some important considerations. IBC can only be initiated with an individual in whom you have an insurable interest, such as yourself, a spouse, child, or business partner. The insured must be eligible for coverage when the policy is created, though future insurability is not guaranteed. Health conditions and age can affect the effectiveness of the contract. IBC requires discipline and the ability to delay gratification, as it's not intended for undisciplined spending. It's a strategy for creating savings and financing purposeful expenditures. Those who struggle with financial discipline may find IBC challenging. Ultimately, IBC is about controlling the direction of your money flow, which may not be suitable for everyone.
