Bancassurance is the practice of selling insurance products through banks. It involves partnerships between banks and insurance companies, where the bank distributes the insurance company's products to its clients. The model originated in France and expanded in India after deregulation. The IRDA and RBI regulate bancassurance agreements. The practice aims to increase insurance penetration by making products available at banks, India's most widespread financial access points. An example partnership is SBI Life, a joint venture between State Bank of India and BNP Paribas Assurance.
