What Is Infinite Banking?

Becoming Your Own Banker

The Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) uses a specially designed whole life insurance policy to help you build cash value you can access throughout your life. Instead of relying on traditional banks or lenders, you borrow against your policy’s value to fund major purchases, investments, or even to pay off debt—all while your policy continues to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Infinite Banking a scam?
The concept is legitimate. The problem is that it’s widely misrepresented, both by people who oversell it and by people who dismiss it without understanding how it actually works. Infinite Banking uses a properly structured whole life policy to build cash value at a guaranteed rate, which you can borrow against while the full value continues to compound. The strategy only works if the policy is designed specifically for this purpose from day one. A standard whole life policy sold for death benefit doesn’t accomplish the same thing. Lance designs these correctly.
A standard whole life policy is structured to maximize the death benefit relative to the premium. An Infinite Banking policy is structured to maximize cash value growth, which requires a different premium-to-benefit ratio and specific paid-up additions riders. Most insurance agents don’t design policies this way because it reduces their commission. The design matters more than the product category.
A 401(k) grows based on market performance, has contribution limits, locks your money up until age 59 and a half, and creates a taxable event when you withdraw. An Indexed Universal Life policy ties growth to a market index with a floor that prevents principal loss, has no IRS contribution limits, allows tax-free access to your money at any age through policy loans, and passes to your beneficiaries income-tax-free. The tradeoff is that IUL requires a longer time horizon to outperform simpler vehicles, and the policy design has to be right from the start.
Yes, and for many clients that’s exactly the right approach. The 401(k) gets the employer match if there is one, and the IUL or Infinite Banking policy handles supplemental growth outside of market exposure and contribution limits. They serve different purposes and work well in parallel.
