Banner: New Term Pricing Effective June 16

06-16-2021

Legal & General America is pleased to announce they are making premium rate changes to level term periods for Banner Life OPTerm with improvements targeting competitive positioning in the preferred rate classes in the 10-40 year term durations. These changes will be effective today, June 16, 2021.  Please note this is for Banner Life rates only. William Penn rates remain the same.

What's Changed?

More reductions, especially in the Preferred classes, means more #1 pricing than any other carrier. 

Changes to level period premium rates includes a mix of increases and decreases, across all level term periods (10 – 40 years). Both annual and monthly rates are highly competitive!
