One-time tuitionEight guided modulesAI voice coach
What makes it different
Education before implementation.
You should understand the moving parts before you evaluate a contract, ask an agent for an illustration, or make a long-term commitment.
Sharper questions
Use a structured checklist in agent meetings so the conversation stays specific and documented.
Repayment on purpose
Treat borrowing as a system with buffers, records, and a clear repayment path—not free money.
The goal is not to “become a bank.” It is to understand and manage the banking function—control, liquidity, financing, and repayment—with greater discipline.
The curriculum
Eight modules. One connected system.
Each module moves from concept to review, with short lessons, checkpoints, implementation prompts, and support from BANK.
Keep the Bank
Define the banking function and separate a useful financial framework from the claim that you become a regulated bank.
Whole Life Basics
Understand premium, cash value, death benefit, and the difference between guaranteed and non-guaranteed values.
Policy Architecture
Explore base premium, paid-up additions, optional term riders, and why design shorthand is not a universal formula.
Illustration Audit
Read the columns, compare early liquidity, inspect year-one and year-ten checkpoints, and stress-test assumptions.
MEC & Seven-Pay
Learn the high-level tax guardrails and recognize when a contract-specific question belongs with licensed professionals.
Policy Loans
Understand loan interest, recognition methods, balance effects, and the lapse or tax risks of unmanaged loans.
DueSmart Repayment
Build reserves, buffers, payoff scenarios, bookkeeping habits, and a repayment rhythm that protects the system.
Agent Meeting & Annual Review
Use the twelve-question checklist, document assumptions, compare proposals carefully, and review the plan every year.

Questions, answered
Before you enroll.
Is DueSmart Bank Academy a bank?
No. It is an educational program. The phrase “banking function” refers to how you think about control, liquidity, financing, and repayment; it does not mean DueSmart or a learner is a regulated bank.
Will the Academy tell me which policy or carrier to buy?
No. The Academy teaches contract literacy and evaluation questions. Individual policy suitability, carrier selection, contract design, and tax consequences should be reviewed with appropriately licensed professionals who know your complete circumstances.
What does BANK do?
BANK is an automated educational voice coach. It explains course ideas, guides lessons, and runs short knowledge checks. It does not accept payments, collect sensitive financial data, or provide individualized professional advice.
What is included in the $497 price?
The approved Founding Cohort offer includes eight guided modules with twenty-four lessons, eight module quizzes and a certificate of completion, eight interactive banking tools, illustration-audit training, implementation workbook exercises, a glossary, and educational guidance from BANK. The tuition is a one-time $497 payment.
Do you guarantee a financial result?
No. Financial products and personal outcomes depend on many factors. The Academy promises education and a review process—not returns, tax treatment, policy performance, liquidity, loan approval, or suitability.
Should I share my policy or account numbers with BANK?
No. Use general or fictional examples. Never share Social Security numbers, dates of birth, account or policy numbers, passwords, payment details, or one-time codes with the voice coach.
