Offers Consumers the Opportunity to Accumulate Funds for Retirement by Allowing Flexible Contributions Over Time

CHICAGO, Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bankers Life, a national life and health insurance brand that focuses on the insurance needs of Americans who are near or in retirement, announced today that it is expanding its annuities portfolio by introducing the Flexible Premium Bonus Indexed Annuity (FPBIA).

The Bankers Life FPBIA is designed with stability and flexibility in mind to help customers create a guaranteed lifetime income stream for retirement.

"If you're nearing or in retirement, Bankers Life Flexible Premium Bonus Indexed Annuity can help you protect and build your nest egg," said Scott Goldberg, president of the Consumer Division, CNO Financial Group. "Customers who have funds set aside in multiple vehicles for retirement and are looking to de-risk their portfolios will appreciate the stability, flexibility and simplicity of our new FPBIA product. It is an ideal solution to customers' retirement planning goals of saving, securing guaranteed retirement income and building a financial legacy."
