Banks vs. insurance, which is safer is something that we've been asked many times. It's a great question to ask, in fact. People are wanting to know their money won't disappear on them.

And so, the common question we get related to infinite banking is this: "Is my money going to be as safe in the policy as it is, just sitting in a bank account. There's a lot of nuances there.

We believe that it definitely is. There's a lot of reasons for it. Why would we present banks being riskier to put your money in, than a mutual life insurance company, and a policy there?

Banks vs. Insurance Topics Discussed:

  • Austrian economics and why its role in insurance is important
  • Leveraged money vs. Non-leveraged money
  • Factors forcing insurance companies to play it straight with your money
  • The myth and nuance of the FDIC banks protections argument
  • Why banks buy life insurance policies
