The short, technical answer: the Infinite Banking Concept is an over-funded, participating whole life insurance policy that you can use to finance the major purchases in your life.
It is a concept made popular by the book “Becoming Your Own Banker: Unlock the Infinite Banking Concept” by R. Nelson Nash. There are other names for this strategy, depending on which book or website you read including Bank on Yourself, Cash Flow Banking, Private Family Banking, Immediate Financing Arrangement and many more. They are all essentially the same strategy with different names used for marketing purposes.
