Why do finance companies charge higher interest rates than commercial banks?
Because they offer a higher rate of interest to their deposit customers. Loan Interest is the chief source of income for all banks & financial institutions.

Usually people prefer banks when compared to financial institutions to deposit their money. So to attract customers these institutions offer a higher rate of interest on deposits with them. In order to maintain their profit margin, they charge a higher rate of interest on their loan customers. So, higher the rate on deposits, higher is the rate on loans.
Are indexed annuities insured?
They are not insured like with money in the bank and the FDIC. But it is safe as to the extent that the insurance company is safe and at this point probably safer than the banks and the FDIC! I strongly advise against indexed annuities at this point where you can receive 0% interest. Why not a fixed annuity that would guarantee the interest rate for a fixed period of time? Currently 6% guaranteed for 10 years.
