Sharon B.

Kiara at My Annuity Store was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was efficient, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive to all of my many questions. She was always available when I needed her and made what initially felt like an overwhelming process much easier. My financial advisor recommended Kiara, and I am so glad he did. After researching all of the different options available, I felt overwhelmed by the choices, but Kiara took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me feel confident that I was making a smart decision with my money. I highly recommend Kiara and My Annuity Store!

Kiara was excellent, she helped me set up two myga's through two different carriers at peak rates. The process takes time at the carrier end, and she kept me informed along the way.

How We're Paid

You pay us nothing directly. Here's our commission on this product, in plain sight.

2.75%

We are paid by GBU Life when you make a purchase. Commission rates are updated periodically and subject to change. In limited instances, My Annuity Store may receive higher compensation than the published commission rates based on achieving a certain level of sales volume or as a result of playing an expanded role in policy processing. This is an indirect cost to you, as it is already factored into the interest rate quoted.

Commissions may be slightly lower for individuals age 80 and older.
