Increased earnings with BOLI

There are not many resources or opportunities available to a community bank that can increase the average bottom line net income year after year. The effort required to increase net income is normally a substantial amount of work.

Adding value to your bottom line is easy with BankersBenefits’ BOLI. Investing 8 to 10 hours of time to educate your executive team and board of directors can pay off, as BOLI improves earnings per share, ROA and ROE while decreasing the efficiency ratio.

Bankers Benefits members, who are insurance agents, have access to the highest credit quality insurance carriers. Leveraging their combination asset diversification, active portfolio management, and long-term perspectives supports value and financial strength.

Is the light going on?

BankersBenefits provides insurance companies with the same advantages as banks and other corporations.
