Did you know banks use your money in ways most people have never heard about?
While most of us just let our savings sit in the bank, the banks are actually putting billions into a special kind of life insurance.
Find out why banks trust these accounts so much and how you could use the same secret for your own benefit.
Why Banks Don’t Want You Knowing This Secret
Banks Only Keep a Small Percent of Your Money
When you put $10,000 in a savings account, your bank only keeps about 10% (or $1,000) ready and available. The rest? Banks use it to try to make more money. But most people don’t know where most of that money actually goes.
Banks Invest in Cash Value Life Insurance
Surprisingly, banks put much of your money into cash value life insurance policies also known as BOLI – not just loans or stocks. Huge banks, like Bank of America, have billions invested in these types of accounts. Why? Because life insurance companies must keep all their cash available, making this a much safer place for the bank’s money than most investments.
Big Benefits: Safety, Growth, and Tax-Free Money
When banks use cash value life insurance, their money grows without any risk associated with the stock market. Plus, the money in these policies grows tax-free and can also be accessed tax free (while the insured person is still alive). If the person insured passes away, the banks also get a tax-free cash payout.
The best part? Everyday people can also open these kinds of accounts. You can grow your money safely, potentially use it for retirement, buy property, or even start a business—all while keeping more of your earnings and paying less in taxes.
