An overview of the brightpeak products 
brightpeak offers straight-forward financial advice paired with simple solutions like term life insurance and retirement plans, to help customers plan for tomorrow and enjoy today. As a division of Thrivent Financial, the company offers paid benefit membership products: Term Life insurance, Disability Income Insurance and an annuity product called a GRP, or Guaranteed Retirement Product. brightpeak also offers a Savings Rewards Program, Student Loan Refinancing options and a few different offerings in the marriage space.

• Emergency savings account: In case of an emergency like major car or home repairs, unexpected medical bills or losing a job, instead of relying on credit cards and personal loans, the best way to keep your head above water is an emergency savings account. brightpeak combines their Savings Rewards Program with Thrivent Federal Credit Union’s Emergency Savings Share Account to create an emergency savings account that rewards you for saving! There is no fee to open or maintain the account and you’ll get cash rewards for hitting certain milestones.

• Term life insurance: The company’s Term Life Insurance is a simple, secure and affordable way to take care of loved ones financially in case of an unexpected death. It is customizable, trustworthy and at guaranteed rates.

• Retirement plan: brightpeak’s Guaranteed Retirement Plan, a fixed annuity, provides a guaranteed stream of income when you retire until the end of your life. A fixed annuity is a contract between the Customer and the insurance company that allows him/her to contribute money every month over time and receive fixed payments (kind of like a paycheck) when he/she reaches a certain age in life. The plan is stable, safe and secure.

• Student loan refinancing: brightpeak also sells Thrivent’s Education Refi Loan. This resource consolidates both federal and private student loan debt into one loan with the convenience of one monthly payment, leaving the customers with the ability to lower their interest rates as well as their payments.
