Universal life policies provide people with a more permanent plan and is expected to last for life as long as payments are made regularly. With this type of policy, the investor can either pay higher premiums for life time coverage or lower premiums with shorter coverage guarantees. Short Pay Guarantees is a feature unique to Banner Life where the investor gets to choose the number of years he would like to keep paying premiums in return for a lifetime of coverage. This enables the investor to make higher premium payments for a period of 10 or 15 years in exchange for lifetime coverage without additional payments.
