Bancassurance is defined as the selling of Banking and Insurance products through the same channel - most commonly through the Bank's branch network. Bank staff, rather than an Insurance salesperson, become the point of sale/point of contact for the customer but an insurance Company does the administration of policies. Bank Customers have the opportunity to take out Insurance products at the same time they are accessing banking products.
