What changes in the marketplace will dictate growth in insurance?There remains the challenge to educate businesses about the need to purchase adequate or appropriate insurance, such as cyber liability. As cyber-related attacks continue to become more prevalent and far more damaging, there is no doubt that cyber liability is a fast-growing segment in our industry.
It is important for community bankers to talk to their independent agents to receive vital advice on their exposures as well as the adequacy of limits and coverage purchased.
How is Travelers poised to create solutions that meet the growing needs of community banks today?Travelers is constantly evaluating the pulse of the industry. For example, Travelers recently launched the Business Risk Index, a survey of business leaders from organizations of all sizes and industries, including financial institutions. When asked how the overall level of risk their business faces is changing, 53 percent of finan-cial institution business decision makers said their business environment is becoming some-what/more risky compared to 48 percent of the overall respondents. Among financial institu-tions, business decision makers’ top concerns are: compliance with U.S. laws and regulations (40 percent), technology and data/cyber-relat-ed risks (31 percent), legal liability (30 percent), medical cost inflation 24 percent and reputa-tional damages (24 percent).
What new products, services or technologies are your community bank customers most interested in and why?Cyber liability. Cyberthreats continue to grow and represent a serious challenge that community bankers must confront. Just as banks wouldn’t go without an insurance policy to protect themselves from a fire, they shouldn’t go without protecting themselves from cyber risks.
A leading expert in cyber risk insurance, Travelers offers specialized cyber coverages to address a wide range of risks associated with different sizes and types of businesses, including community banks. Core products such as directors or officers coverage continue to be of interest, as well.
Tell us why a community bank would choose Travelers?It is always safer under an umbrella. For more than a century, Travelers has supported community banks by offering an extensive selection of customized insurance solutions. Through Travelers, you can obtain coverage for a wide range of exposures and help reduce potential gaps and overlaps in coverage. We also offer dedicated claims professionals, Webinars, community bank alerts and risk management solutions. To learn more, visit www.rmplusonline.com.

What marketplace changes will have the
biggest impact on community banks in
2015?
Community bankers will see expanded
regulatory rules and enforcement, including
an increased emphasis on fair and responsible
banking practices. Two significant challenges
will be addressing the new TILA-RESPA and
HMDA requirements. The good news is that
bankers will also see opportunities for growth—
commercial and indirect lending are two
promising areas that come to mind.

SPECIAL ADVERTORIAL SECTION
What new products, services or technologies are your community bank customers most interested in and why?Community bankers want a bank card solution to help retain loyalty and keep cardholders banking in their home town. Offering an instant issuance solution in their bank is a simple, economical, secure way to give customers access to their accounts and bring their credit and debit cards to market quicker. Consumers want services that align with their lifestyle, giving them immediate service, flexibility and convenience.
A new big consumer trend is the “NOW” factor with in-branch issuance. Providing a card immediately keeps customers “on the go” without the delay of traditional card issuance. This provides the cardholder with immediate purchasing power, boosting customer satisfaction, keeping the card top-of-wallet and increasing interchange revenue. What kind of benefits will a bank receive?Banks using this new type of technology have a competitive advantage when they offer instant issuance. It increases profitability, activation, usability and it’s cost effective. CPI’s patented solution, Card@Once®, has a small footprint, is EMV capable, PCI compliant and meets Visa/MasterCard security require-ments.
How can this new technology improve a customer’s experience?As a new customer, opening an account at a bank that has Card@Once® solutions allows me to receive my new, permanent EMV credit/debit card right away and buy a pair of boots in Nashville, all within the same afternoon.
