Bancassurance is a partnership between a bank and an insurance company, where insurance products and services are offered through a bank. It eliminates the need for customers to go through a separate insurance company to purchase insurance, as they can buy it directly from their bank. By partnering with insurance companies, banks can offer their customers a wider range of financial products.
When buying insurance through a bank, the bank acts as an intermediary between the customer and the insurance company. The bank will assess the customer’s financial situation and recommend insurance products tailored to their needs. Once the customer has decided on an insurance product, the bank will handle all the paperwork, payments and other administrative tasks.
