Client Reviews

I had very positive end-to-end experience with My Annuity Store. They were very transparent about various options I had, and did their best to explain the rather complicated terminology in different annuity schemes. It was very satisfactory collaboration till the end.. Thanks!

The annuity store has done a great job helping me understand the best fixed index annuities. They are very professional and timely in their communications. Service has been excellent. I do not hesitate to do further business with them.

The folks at My Annuity Store are very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. They responded to all my inquires which were quite numerous with very comprehensive and understandable explanations. One very important aspect with my working relationship with the company is that they are not high pressure sales persons which I found to be the case with several other firms that I had contacted for information regarding annuities.

I made a mid-life career change and was looking for a way to roll over my 401K into something safe. I stumbled upon Myannuitystore.com and am glad I did. Kiara was great and the electronic application was quick and simple.
