"My wife and I each owned multiple Gainbridge MYGA fixed annuities, and I still own many. The Gainbridge rates have been very competitive. Customer service has always been excellent for everything, including purchases, penalty-free withdrawals, transfers, end-of-guarantee-period surrenders, death claims and spousal options, etc. I have dealt with twenty annuity companies, and no one provides better customer service than Gainbridge, and many other companies provide poor customer service or worse. Gainbridge is highly recommended." - Steven M.
"I've purchased several MYGA contracts from Gainbridge over a few years. The website makes the application process easy and efficient. I was even able to add my trust as beneficiary easily. And instead of waiting weeks for money to be applied to the contract, it just took a few days. And the guaranteed rates beat the competition. For me, this is how annuities should be purchased, without having to go through an insurance broker or agent - as long as you understand annuity contracts." - Joel

Dave's review
I have several annuities with various insurance companies. I like that with Gainbridge you don't deal with a middle-man broker. The process is simple and the website/user interface is very good. Interest rates are some of the best.
David
Locked in great rate!
It was easy to set up my account and transfer of funds went smoothly. Also, I appreciate my locked-in interest rate that was the best at the time I was searching. I only wish I would have know about Gainbridge sooner.

Good Customer Service
The information on your website was accurate and it was easy to talk to a representative both before and during the opening of the account. The rates are the best!

Nancy
One of the best 5-yr MYGA (annuity) rates around
One of the best 5-yr MYGA (annuity) rates around and fast and easy to complete the process online. No need for an agent to get involved, which makes things even easier and faster. Will likely do business again.

William
As a first time online annuity…
As a first time online annuity purchaser I was anxious about the process. I spoke with Amanda and Tiffany at different times. Each were very helpful and patient. Tiffany especially was able to make me feel that there was someone at Gainbridge who cared about my experience and would follow through with what needed to be done to help me complete the process.
Rachel
Good Rates, easy account opening
Website is informative and easy to navigate. On line chat person clearly answered all of my questions. With the information I received, I felt comfortable opening my first ever annuity. Opening an account was straightforward and very easy. Current rates offered are significantly better than CD rates.
