About R. Nelson Nash

R. Nelson Nash was the visionary creator and pioneer of the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) — a groundbreaking approach to personal finance that empowers individuals to take control of their money and “become their own banker.”

Through his influential book “Becoming Your Own Banker,” Nelson reshaped how people think about wealth, freedom, and stewardship. His life’s work continues to inspire a global movement dedicated to financial independence, personal responsibility, and the wise management of money — values that remain at the heart of the Infinite Banking community today.

Financial Freedom

By Thomas J. Farrar

This is a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about money.

Discover the truth about how banks really work and how you can become your own. Most people spend their lives chasing financial freedom, but few ever realize that the system itself is designed to keep them dependent.

This book exposes that system and introduces a powerful alternative — the Infinite Banking Concept — a proven way to take back control, grow your wealth uninterrupted, and build a financial legacy on your own terms.

Read it with an open mind and you’ll never see money the same way again. And hey! It's free! Click the button so we can send you a copy.

Readiness Isn’t a Number — It’s a Mindset

Terminologies

1. Infinite Banking Concept (IBC)

A financial strategy popularized by Nelson Nash that uses a properly designed whole life insurance policy to create your own personal banking system.

2. Becoming Your Own Banker

The title of Nelson Nash’s foundational book, teaching how individuals can control the banking function in their lives through IBC.

3. Whole Life Insurance

A permanent life insurance policy that provides lifelong coverage and builds cash value over time.

4. Cash Value

The savings component within a whole life policy that grows tax-deferred and can be accessed through loans or withdrawals.

5. Policy Loan

A loan taken against the cash value of your life insurance policy. You act as your own banker — borrowing and repaying yourself with interest.

6. Dividend

A share of the insurance company’s profits distributed to policyholders of participating whole life policies. Dividends can be used to buy more coverage, pay premiums, or grow cash value.

7. Paid-Up Additions (PUAs)

Extra coverage purchased with dividends or additional payments that boost your cash value growth and death benefit.

8. Mutual Insurance Company

An insurance company owned by its policyholders — not shareholders — meaning profits (dividends) are distributed to you.

9. Death Benefit

The tax-free amount paid to beneficiaries upon the policyholder’s death. In IBC, it’s also seen as a legacy-building tool.

10. Premium

The payment you make to keep your policy active. In IBC, premiums are often reframed as “capital deposits” to your personal banking system.

11. Banking Function

The process of managing cash flow, borrowing, and repayment — traditionally done by banks, but in IBC, you reclaim it personally.

12. Velocity of Money

A key IBC principle that highlights how fast money circulates. The faster it moves through your system, the more value it creates.

13. Opportunity Cost

The potential growth you lose when your money is tied up or spent instead of earning interest elsewhere. IBC helps minimize this loss.

14. Recapture Interest

The act of reclaiming interest that would otherwise go to traditional lenders by paying yourself back through your policy loans.

15. Tax-Deferred Growth

Your cash value grows without immediate taxation — a major advantage in compounding your wealth inside the policy.

16. Authorized Practitioner

A financial professional trained and certified to implement the Infinite Banking Concept properly for clients.

17. Certainty Advisor

A title for professionals (like Tom) who guide individuals in creating Financial Certainty using proven cash flow and IBC strategies.

18. Generational Wealth

The financial legacy built through assets like life insurance that can be passed on to future generations tax-efficiently.

19. Cash Flow Strategy

A personalized plan to manage income, expenses, and investments effectively — central to achieving financial independence through IBC.

20. Financial Certainty

A state of confidence in one’s financial life — knowing you have control over your money, debts, and future, often achieved through IBC principles.

21. Nelson Nash Institute (NNI)

The official organization founded to preserve and teach the Infinite Banking Concept as developed by R. Nelson Nash.

22. Dividends Option

Choices you have for how dividends are used — e.g., cash payout, premium reduction, or buying paid-up additions.

23. Policy Design

How an IBC practitioner structures a whole life policy to optimize cash value growth, flexibility, and long-term benefits.

24. Liquidity

Your ability to access money when needed. Properly designed IBC policies provide high liquidity without interrupting growth.

25. Control

A core philosophy of IBC — ensuring you have total control over your money, rather than surrendering it to banks or lenders.
