What bancassurance means

Bancassurance is a tie-up where a bank makes insurance products available to its own customers, alongside the banking services it already provides. Here, the products involved are general insurance products, which typically cover things such as motor, health, home or travel risk.

How such an arrangement usually works

• The insurer provides and underwrites the insurance product.
• The bank acts as a distribution channel, offering the product to customers who visit its branches or use its digital services.
• The bank earns distribution income on products sold, while the insurance risk stays with the insurer.
• Customers get access to insurance products from a partner the bank has selected.

What a reader can take away

• This is a distribution tie-up, described by the Bank as part of its regular business activity rather than a one-off event.
• It expands the range of products the Bank can offer its existing customer base.
• Any financial impact would depend on actual sales of the insurance products over time, and the update sets out no commercial terms of the arrangement.
