1) What insurance companies do you use?
Pamela Yellen is an educator, not a licensed financial advisor, which means she’s prohibited from recommending or naming any specific companies that have policies with all the features needed to maximize the power of the Bank On Yourself concept.
And knowing the names of the companies isn’t enough. Equally important is that your policy be designed properly; otherwise your plan could grow much more slowly, lose the tax advantages, or both.
It’s the job of the Bank On Yourself Professionals to look at your overall financial picture in order to design a customized policy that will help you reach your goals… and then recommend the company that’s most suitable for your situation.
When you request a free, no-obligation Analysis, you’ll get a referral to one of only 200 financial advisors in the U.S. and Canada who have met the rigorous training and requirements to be a Professional.
The Advisor selected for you will be happy to provide you whatever data and information you’d like about the insurance company selected for your plan, so you can do your due diligence and satisfy yourself that the company is financially sound. Bank On Yourself Professionals only use insurance companies that are among the top companies in terms of financial strength, and which have a track record of paying dividends every single year for at least the past 100 years.

Click for answer6) What effect will the economy have on my policy?
Learn how the Bank On Yourself method will hold up under various economic scenarios. And here’s some insight into what would happen with the Bank On Yourself Strategy if the U.S. economy goes into a tailspin.
Click for answer7) How much does it cost?
There is no cost for a Bank On Yourself Analysis that will show you all the bottom-line results you will get from Bank On Yourself.
Should you then choose to start a Bank On Yourself-type policy, the Bank On Yourself Professionals do not charge fees to design and implement your plan. They receive a commission from the insurance company, which has already been taken into account in the bottom-line numbers you’ll see.
Much like buying a TV or a couch, the costs of manufacturing and sales are already included in the price, or in the premium, in the case of a Bank On Yourself Plan. Also, the commissions on these policies are 50-70% less than they would be if your policy were designed the traditional way.
However, Bank On Yourself is NOT a one-size-fits-all plan. There’s no pre-set amount a person would put into a plan, because the plan would be customized to YOUR unique situation, goals and dreams. Take advantage of a no-obligation Bank On Yourself Analysis to find out what your bottom-line numbers would be.
Click for answer8) Can I take a policy loan right away?
We answer this question and other related questions in our Consumers’ Guide to Policy Loans.
Click for answer9) I live outside the U.S. – does Bank On Yourself work here?
At this time there are no Bank On Yourself Professionals outside of the United States and Canada. If you’re from anywhere else in the world, unfortunately we aren’t familiar with the insurance products available there or with the tax laws. We would recommend you take the book (available outside the U.S. through Amazon.com) to your local insurance advisor so they can look into it for you. Sorry, but we do not reply to email received from outside of the United States and Canada.
