At the end of the 20th year approximately $1,290,000 is accumulated in the pension plan trust account.
- The $250,000 loan could be amortized over 5 or 10 years. At a 7% interest cost the monthly payments are $4950 for the 5-year monthly amortization, and the 10-year monthly amortization is $2903. ($59,400 to $34,836 in annual payments).
- Without the loan the client would not have the $1,290,000 that is accumulated in the pension plan by the end of the 20th year. Retirement plan savings continue to grow until the funds are distributed during retirement to the plan participant.
Without the Bank Professional Services Division “$1 million partner” these retirement savings would not exist.

Employer Cash Management Account
The Employer Cash Management Account accumulates an employer’s pre-tax surplus business earnings on a monthly basis for allocation to compensation, to income and asset protection programs, and to separate qualified retirement plan bank trust accounts for defined contribution profit sharing plans and defined benefit pension plans.
Pre-tax surplus business earnings accumulated in the business or practice operating account are deposited, monthly, by the office manager to the Employer Cash Management Bank Account.
Allocations are made from the Employer Cash Management Account to fund salary that is equal to the business owner/doctors’ lifestyle costs plus taxes; to fund medical, disability, and long-term care insurance; to fund catastrophic loss and guaranteed life income programs; and to fund guaranteed-outcome defined benefit pension plans and supplemental defined contribution profit sharing plans by allocating funds to the pension plan and supplemental profit sharing plan trust accounts.
Funds allocated to the pension plan and profit-sharing plan trust accounts are then allocated to fund plan completion whole life insurance, guaranteed life income annuities, and other investments.
