NU Online News Service, June 24, 2003, 5:06 p.m. EDT – Banks are reporting $12.5 billion in annuity sales for the first quarter, up from $11.4 billion for the first quarter of 2002, reports Kenneth Kehrer Associates, Princeton, N.J.

Bank sales of fixed annuities fell to $8.6 billion, from $8.9 billion, but bank sales of variable annuities increased to $3.9 billion, from $2.5 billion.
