What you'll learn
Banking and insurance are intertwined financial sectors, with bancassurance being a key link, where banks sell insurance products (life, health, accident) to their customers, offering convenience (one-stop shop), while banks earn revenue and insurers gain wider distribution, benefiting both banks (new income, loyalty) and customers (easy access) through cross-selling and integrated financial services. Banks also need their own insurance (property, cyber, fidelity) for protection, and government schemes (like India's PMJJBY, PMSBY) offer specific bank-linked insurance/pension products.
