The interest rate was attractive

The interest rate was attractive, though the advertized 5.2% for 3 years ended up being 5.1%. Odd that a contract showing the guaranteed rate did not appear until days after funds were transferred. I got verbal commitment before funding, but I'd think there should be some sort of written commitment before money starts moving.

Steve,

While we are glad you found value in our rates, we are sorry for the confusion around the rate you would be locking in. We aim for transparency in all steps of the way from marketing, to investing and funding. Further, waiting on your application with no clear answers or updates is incredibly stressful - we completely understand that, and we're truly sorry for the delays you've experienced.

What is the worst thing that can happen?

I have always been afraid of any annuity financial product mostly due to the general negativity from most of the so-called knowledgable people that I read about. But now that I have discovered that having a closed mind on about any subject can prevent you from becoming a better investor I have decided to explore annuities more. After doing some research I have decided to buy a few at Gainbridge with money from my discretionary fund. So far I have been impressed with what I see. If financial diversity is important to you then I recommend looking into these instruments. No fee and low risk is always a great option.

I was very pleased to find gainbridge.com. The FastBreak product meets my needs exactly. Customer service is always helpful and responsive.
Adding Primary and Contingent beneficiaries is not as intuitive as some, but works.

Complete the whole Process on website.

The application is easy to complete on the website. This is my 2nd time to get a Fast Break contract. I
love the fact that I don't have to sit down with an agent.
I can independently complete the whole process from start to finish.
