Which insurance companies have the best policies for the Bank On Yourself Concept?
Out of nearly 1,000 major life insurance companies, only a handful offer policies that meet all five requirements needed to maximize the power of the Bank On Yourself Concept. When your plan is designed by one of the 200 Bank On Yourself Professionals, they will recommend companies that have all of these five advantages and features:
1. They are dividend paying whole life policies from companies that have paid dividends every single year for at least the past 100 years in a row.
(Learn more about what a dividend-paying whole life policy is and how it works here.)
2. They offer “non-direct recognition” policies, which means they credit you the exact same dividend even when you’ve taken a loan from your policy. That lets you use your money and still have it growing for you as though you never touched it.
Some companies do their best to discourage policy owners from taking policy loans.
That makes no sense, since the company must either loan or invest the premiums in order to deliver on their promises to policy owners.
Policy loans are perhaps the most reliable place the company can put money to work, because you’re either going to pay your loan back with interest while you’re alive, or the company will get it back when you die. Since the death benefit is used as collateral for policy loans, the company deducts any outstanding loans and any interest due on them before paying the claim.
One well-known company that you’ll sometimes hear suggested for the Bank On Yourself Concept because of it’s dividend-paying track record pays policyowners a different dividend on the money they have borrowed. The company is quick to warn you how much your dividend will be lowered if you don’t pay the loan back immediately. And to make matters worse, this company lowers their agents’ commission if their clients have what the company deems “too many” policy loans.
But using your cash values to become your own source of financing is one of the most popular benefits of the Bank On Yourself Concept. How much help do you think you’ll get from a financial representative whose company cuts their commission if they help you put your policy to work for you while you’re alive?
That’s why a Bank On Yourself Professional will recommend top-rated companies that let you take advantage of the policy loan feature without being penalized for doing so…even though it means they will receive less commission than reps who steer you in a different direction.

3. The companies offer a flexible Paid-Up Additions Rider (“PUAR”). At least 50% of your premium will typically be directed into this Rider, which makes your cash value grow significantly faster than a policy that does not include this Rider.
Most companies that offer this Rider don’t give you a lot of flexibility in paying it. A Bank On Yourself Professional can recommend companies that allow you to pay a portion of your PUAR premium when and how you want, and you can make partial payments or skip payments and be able to make up for them later. In addition, you can typically withdraw your paid-up additions and put them back in later.
Many insurance agents and financial representatives don’t know much about this Rider – or won’t tell you about it if they do – because it reduces their commission by 50-70%.
4. The life insurance company understands and supports the Bank On Yourself Concept.
5. The insurance companies recommended by the Bank On Yourself Professionals are among the financially strongest in the country, as determined by several different independent rating agencies.

And knowing the names of the companies isn’t enough. Equally important is that your policy be designed properly. If it isn’t, your plan could grow much more slowly, lose the tax advantages, or both.
