How to Borrow from Yourself Safely Using Life Insurance
High-income Canadians know the value of liquidity. The problem is that accessing capital usually means triggering taxes, taking on debt, or selling investments at the wrong time. There's a smarter way.
In this video, Laurent Munier from Safe Pacific Financial walks through how to safely borrow against the cash value of a participating whole life insurance policy — and explains how the Infinite Banking Concept actually works in Canada (not just the American version you see on YouTube).

- Keep your cash value compounding tax-deferred while you use the money
- Provide a private financing source that works when banks won't lend
- Stay tax-efficient as long as you stay below your Adjusted Cost Base
- Support business expansion, opportunities, and intergenerational wealth transfer
