Bancassurance refers to the partnership between a bank and an insurance company, wherein the insurance company is enabled to sell its products by using bank as a distribution channel. This collaboration helps the bank in earning a revenue, apart from the interest, also known as fee-based income. Whereas, the insurance company gets to expand its consumer-base without rising its broker commissions and sales force. With bancassurance, these institutions offer a wide range of banking as well as investment products and services to the consumers, such as health insurance along with mortgage, life insurance, and annuities. These products tend to complement the existing bank products which further leads to additional selling opportunities for both the insurance company and bank.
