What does ‘banking’ mean here?
It refers to controlling a pool of capital and using policy loans as a financing tool. The insurance company remains the lender, loan interest applies, and the policy must be funded and managed correctly.

No product wins in every situation. These are the questions that determine whether this strategy belongs in your plan.
Why use whole life?
Participating whole life is commonly used because it offers contractual guarantees, potential dividends, and policy-loan provisions. Design choices heavily influence early liquidity and long-term values.
What are the tradeoffs?
Premium commitments can be substantial, early cash value may be lower than contributions, dividends are not guaranteed, and loans can reduce benefits. It is a long-term strategy, not a quick-return vehicle.
‘Infinite banking’ is a strategy, not a product or guarantee. Policy loans accrue interest and may reduce benefits or create tax consequences if a policy lapses.
