This approach has allowed us to: Store, access, and grow our capital sustainably. Fund both personal and generational goals. Create a lasting legacy of financial security. Family banking is more than a strategy—it’s a lifestyle. At its core, it’s about reclaiming control of the banking function in your life by creating a financial system that works for you, not against you. Infinite Banking, the foundation of family banking, leverages the cash value of whole life insurance policies to build a pool of capital you can access and use throughout your life. Unlike traditional banks, this approach allows you to: Earn uninterrupted compound growth on your money. Borrow from your policy while it continues to grow. Create financial stability for future generations with a guaranteed death benefit. Nelson Nash, the founder of this concept, famously said, “Compounding is the eighth wonder of the world.” Infinite Banking magnifies this principle by letting you benefit from uninterrupted growth over decades.

At the time, we were searching for a safe and liquid place to store our savings. At the time, we were overweighted in gold and silver, which fell short in terms of accessibility and stability. This led us to Infinite Banking. With this system, we gained: Liquidity: Instant access to cash when we needed it. Growth: Tax-advantaged, consistent growth over time. Legacy: A financial tool that benefits our family even after our lifetime.

As we’ve learned, compounding is a slow process initially but accelerates dramatically over time. For instance, in one of our policies, the annual cash value growth now exceeds the premium we pay—one of the “break-even” poi...
