The Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) is a strategic approach to personal finance that uses specially designed dividend-paying whole life insurance policies as a private banking system. This powerful strategy, which we implement for clients at Crocker Financial, allows you to recapture interest typically paid to financial institutions while building tax-advantaged wealth through properly structured life insurance.

Core Principles of Infinite Banking:

• Becoming Your Own Banker
  • Creating a personal banking system through dividend-paying whole life insurance
  • Establishing control over your financing needs rather than relying on traditional banks
  • Building a pool of capital that you control and can access on your terms
  • Developing financial sovereignty through policy ownership
  • Creating a system where you pay interest to yourself rather than financial institutions
  • Establishing a legacy banking system that can benefit multiple generations
  • Breaking the cycle of traditional borrowing and interest payments
• Policy Design Fundamentals
