Nelson Nash

Nelson R. Nash is the discoverer and developer of The Infinite Banking Concept™ and the author of Becoming Your Own Banker. Nash remains a popular teacher and lecturer on the Infinite Banking Concept™.

He apparently developed the concept after interest rates spiked in the early 1980s while Nash held a significant amount of real estate investments. He soon noticed that the cash value in his mutual company whole life policies totaled the amount to pay his debts, or the interest on his debts, and began using policy loans then paying them back. Over time, he noticed that his cash values where growing by a greater amount than what he was paying back (because of interest rate arbitrage), something that banks and corporations had begun to take advantage of at about the same time.

Nash's ideas became popular in the early to mid-1990s after he wrote his book Becoming Your Own Banker, but his popularity significantly increased during the early 2000s.

A native of Georgia, Nash received a B.S. Degree in Forestry from the University of Georgia, 1952. From 1954 to 1963, Nash worked as a Consulting Forester in eastern North Carolina.
