INTRODUCTIONBancassurance is the convergence of
Banking and Insurance
It was developed in Europe *.
In Asia Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong are ahead in Bancassurance , with India and China taking tentative steps towards it.
WHAT IS BANCASSURANCE ?Distribution of insurance products through
the bank's distribution channel. It is basically selling insurance products
and services by leveraging the vast customer base of a bank and fulfills the banking and insurance needs of the customers at the same time.
BANCASSURANCE IN INDIAIn India banking and insurance sectors are
regulated by two different entities. The banking sector is governed by
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the insurance sector is regulated by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA).
Cont…..RBI recognized the need of an effective
method to make insurance policies reach people of all economic classes in every corner of the nation.
Insurance companies proposed to bring insurance products into the lives of the common man by making them available at the most basic financial point, the local bank branch, through Bancassurance.
Cont…..In India major driver of
Bancassurance has been the private sector companies both in the bank as well as in the insurance.

Advantages for the insurance company :
Through this new distribution network, the insurance company significantly extends its customer base and enjoys access to customers who were previously difficult to reach.
An insurance company can establish itself more quickly in a new market, using a local bank’s existing network.
Advantages for the banks :The bank sees bancassurance as a way of
creating a new revenue flow and diversifying its business activities.
The bank becomes a sort of “supermarket”, a “one-stop shop” for financial services, where all customers’ needs – whether financial or insurance-related – can be met.
DEMERITS OF BANCASSURANCECompromising on data security.
Conflict of interest between the other products of bank and insurance policies.
Better approach and services provided by banks to customer is a hope rather than a fact.
Conclusion: For banks it just acts as a means of product
diversification and additional fee income; for insurance company it acts as a tool for
increasing their market penetration and premium turnover and
for customer it acts as a bonanza in terms of reduced price, high quality products and delivery to doorsteps. So every body is a winner here.
