16. Amended Insurance Code of the Philippines
Institutionalizes Bancassurance
On 15 August 2013, the President of the Philippines
signed into law Republic Act No. 10607 or the revised
Insurance Code of the Philippines (RA 10607). RA 10607,
which amends the 38-year-old Insurance Code under
Presidential Decree No. 612, seeks to strengthen the
Philippine insurance industry and re-align Philippine law
with global developments in the insurance sector.
17. IMPACT ON THE INSURANCE
SECTOR
All financial institutions supervised by the Insurance Commission
(IC), including insurers/insurance companies, agents, and brokers
(collectively, the Supervised Entities), are subject to the new
provisions of RA 10607, including those relating to bancassurance.
At present, the BSP for its part is revising its cross-selling regulations
applicable to banks. Proposed amendments to current BSP regulations
are expected to grant authority to commercial and thrift banks to
engage in cross-selling, in addition to universal banks and expanded
commercial banks which were presently allowed under BSP rules.
18. NEW BANCASSURANCE
PROVISIONS
Amendments relating to bancassurance which are brought about by RA
10607 include the following:
• To engage in a bancassurance arrangement, a bank is not required
anymore to have equity ownership of the insurance company.
• All bancassurance products, whether life or non-life, are required to
be issued or delivered in the form previously approved by the Insurance
Commission.
• Personnel tasked to present and sell insurance productswithin the
bank premises must be duly licensed by the Insurance Commission. Such
personnel will also be subject to the rules and regulations of RA 10607 to
be promulgated by the Insurance Commission and the BSP.
19. COMPLIANCE:
To comply with the new provisions on bancassurance, Supervised
Entities may consider taking the following steps:
• Review carefully and more in-depth the bancassurance provisions ofRA
10607 and further IC regulations/issuances to be issued on the matter;
• Consider the new bancassurance provisions, review and reconsider their
current policies and practices applicable to cross-selling, in order to comply
with the recent law;
• Possibly liaise with relevant IC personnel (in particular, the Regulation,
Enforcement and Prosecution Division) to ensure that their policies/practices
meet internal rules, policies, and practices of the IC; and
• Monitor the progress and eventual issuance of the rules and regulations to
be promulgated by the Insurance Commission and the BSP, specifically with
respect to bancassurance, to ensure timely and effective compliance.
20. NEW RULES OF BANCASSURANCE
Under the said Rules, the selling of insurance products,
including variable life insurance products, within the premises of
a bank is only allowed after the Insurance Commission (IC) has
approved the bancassurance agreement entered into by and
between the insurance company and the bank
In order to differentiate insurance products from bank products,
the regulation requires that the portion of the bank premises
where bancassurance activities are conducted must be distinct
and clearly marked off against areas where bank products are
sold.
The regulator also said: “The IC will not require bank employees
to obtain a licence as an insurance agent as such task is merely
incidental to their duties as bank employees.”
