Introduction Of industry 
Introduction 
Insurance in India started without any regulation in the Nineteenth 
Century. It was a typical story of a colonial era: a few British insurance 
companies dominating the market serving mostly large urban centers. After the 
independence, it took a dramatic turn. Insurance was nationalized. First, the life 
insurance companies were nationalized in 1956, and then the general insurance 
business was nationalized in 1972. Only in 1999 private insurance companies 
have been allowed back into the business of insurance with a maximum of 26% 
of foreign holding & latest updating about the same is proposed to be 49%. 
History of General Insurance in India 
The Indian insurance industry is segmented into two distinct markets: the 
life insurance market and the non-life, or general, insurance market. The General 
insurance business in India can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company 
Ltd., the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta 
by the British. Some of the important milestones in the general insurance 
business in India are: 
· 1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company to 
transact all classes of general insurance business. 
· 1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of 
India, frames a code of conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound 
business practices.

insurance company.

Role of General Insurance in growth of economy 
The General Insurance Industry has an enviable track record among 
public sector units. It has a consistent profit and dividend paying record 
accompanied by a steady growth in its financial resources. Through investments 
in the Government sector and socially- oriented sectors the Industry has 
contributed immensely to the nation's development. The industry is recognized 
as one of the largest financial Institutions in the country. The ventures initiated by 
the industry in the areas of Mutual Fund, Housing Finance has done exceedingly 
well in recent years. To protect the country's foreign exchange reserves, the 
reinsurance arrangement are so organized that maximum retention is made 
possible within the country while at the same time protecting interests of the 
policy holders. The GIC’S inwards reinsurance wing, called the SWIFT,

maximizes the foreign exchange balance by acting as an international insurer 
accepting risks from all over the globe. 
India vs. Global Market 
India's insurance penetration is low at 1.95 per cent and ranks 51 in the world. In 
premium collection the record is better, at 23rd position. The ratio of premium 
collected to gross domestic product is a mere 0.58 per cent. Compared with an 
average of 7.1 percent in most industrialized countries. India is still at a very 
nascent stage with an $8-9 (Rs.400-450) per capita expenditure on insurance, 
out of which $2 to $2.5(Rs.100-150) will be on general insurance. This was 
primarily because in India non-life insurance is not considered important and 
people perceive it as an unnecessary expenditure. Non-life insurance premium at 
a percentage of GDP is estimated at 2.70 for Japan, 2.55 for South Korea, 1.89 
for Malaysia, 1.62 for Singapore, 1.38 for Taiwan, 1.23 for Thailand, 0.86 for the 
Philippines, 0.68 for China, 0.66 for Indonesia, and 0.51 for Pakistan.

Future of General Insurance 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
The Indian insurance sector will register a high growth rate in the future 
years to come, says the report prepared by Fitch Ratings. This will be due to the 
innovative products, better distribution network, better services coupled with 
other never-before changes that have taken place in the insurance sector. The 
report laid stress on branding, customer service and tailor made products that will 
assume importance besides information technology that will become vital to bring 
down costs in the future. Also data warehousing, ensuring effective cross selling 
will grown in importance to exploit the largely unexploited market. 
Regulations 
In India Insurance is a federal subject. The primary legislation that deals 
with insurance business in India is: 
Insurance Regulatory Authority 
On the recommendation of Malhotra Committee, an Insurance Regulatory 
Development Act (IRDA) passed by Indian Parliament in 1993. Its main aim was 
to activate an insurance regulatory apparatus essential for proper monitoring and 
control of the Insurance industry. Due to this Act several Indian private 
companies have entered into the insurance market, and some companies have 
joined with foreign partners. In economic reform process, the Insurance 
Companies has given boost to the socio-economic development process. The 
huge amount of funds that are at the disposal of Insurance Companies are 
directed as desired avenues like housing, safe drinking water, electricity, primary 
education and infrastructure. Above all the policyholders gets better pricing of 
products from competitive insurance companies. 
Liberalization 
The opening up of Insurance sector was a part of the ongoing 
liberalization in the financial sector of India. The domain of State-run insurance 
companies was thrown open to private enterprise on December 7, 1999, with the 
introduction of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Bill. 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
The opening up of the sector gave way to the world known names in the industry 
to enter the Indian market through tie-ups with the eminent business houses. 
What was once a quiet business is becoming one of the hottest businesses 
today. 
Post liberalization 
The changing face of financial sector and the entry of several companies 
in the field of non-life Insurance segment are one of the key results of these 
liberalization efforts. Insurance business by way of generating premium income 
adds significantly to the GDP. Despite the fact that the market is vast in India for 
the Insurance business, the coverage is far less compared with the international 
standards. Estimates show that a meager 35-40 million, out of a population of 
950 million, have come so far under the umbrella of the insurance industry. The 
potential market is so huge that it can grow by 15 to 17 per cent per annum. With 
the entry of private players, the Indian Insurance Market may finally be able to 
make deeper penetration in to newer segments and expand the market size 
manifold. The quality of service will also improve and there will be wide range of 
product catering to the needs of different customers. The pace for claims 
settlement is also expected to improve due to increased competition. The general 
insurance market in India is likely to be risky in the initial stages, but this will 
improve in the next three to five years Therefore, it may be advantageous to be a 
second-round entrant. In the general insurance market the need to build trust 
over time is less important than in the life market because the risk assessment 
systems and data that are the key to success in the general insurance market 
are significantly underdeveloped in India even today

· INDIAN FARMERS FERTILIZERS CO-OP LTD. 
During mid- sixties the Co-operative sector in India was responsible for 
distribution of 70 per cent of fertilizers consumed in the country. This Sector had 
adequate infrastructure to distribute fertilizers but had no production facilities of 
its own and hence dependent on public/private Sectors for supplies. To 
overcome this lacuna and to bridge the demand supply gap in the country, a new 
cooperative society was conceived to specifically cater to the requirements of 
farmers. It was a unique venture in which the farmers of the country through their

IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
· Definition: 
"Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby one party called 
insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum called premiums, to pay the 
other party called insured a fixed amount of money on the happening of a 
certain event." 
Insurance is a protection against financial loss arising on the happening 
of an unexpected event. Insurance companies collect premiums to provide for 
this protection. A loss is paid out of the premiums collected from the insuring 
public and the Insurance Companies act as trustees to the amount collected. 
For Example, in a Life Policy, by paying a premium to the Insurer, the 
family of the insured person receives a fixed compensation on the death of the 
insured. 
Similarly, in car insurance, in the event of the car meeting with an 
accident, the insured receives the compensation to the extent of damage. It is 
a system by which the losses suffered by a few are spread over many, 
exposed to similar risks. 
· Why should you take Insurance? 
Insurance is desired to safeguard oneself and one's family against 
possible losses on account of risks and perils. It provides financial 
compensation for the losses suffered due to the happening of any unforeseen 
events. 
By taking life insurance a person can have peace of mind and need not 
worry about the financial consequences in case of any untimely death. 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
Certain Insurance contracts are also made compulsory by legislation. 
For example, Motor Vehicles Act 1988 stipulates that a person driving a 
vehicle in a public place should hold a valid insurance policy covering "Act" 
risks. Another example of compulsory insurance pertains to the Environmental 
Protection Act, wherein a person using or carrying hazardous substances (as 
defined in the Act) must hold a valid public liability (Act) policy. 
· Who provides Insurance? 
In India, prior to liberalization Insurance protection was made available 
through Public sector Insurance Companies, namely, Life Insurance 
Corporation of India (LIC) and the four subsidiaries of General Insurance 
Corporation of India (GIC). 
By the passing of the IRDA Bill, the Insurance sector has been opened 
up for private companies to carry on Insurance business. Click on the following 
link for the list of insurance companies operating in India.

Channel of Distribution: 
Till few years back, the only mode of distribution of insurance products 
was through Agents. While agents continue to be the predominant distribution 
channel, today a number of innovative alternative channels are being offered to 
consumers. A substantial shift in the distribution of insurance in India is expected. 
Many of these changes will echo international trends. Worldwide, Insurance 
products move along a continuum from pure service products to pure commodity 
products initially, insurance is seen as a complex product with a high advice and 
service component. Buyers prefer a face-to-face interaction and place a high 
premium on brand names and reliability. As products become simpler and 
awareness increases, they become off-the-shelf, commodity products. Sellers 
move to remote channels such as the telephone or direct mail. Insurance is sold 
by various intermediaries, not necessarily insurance companies. Some of them 
are brokers, the internet and direct marketing. Banks and finance companies will 
emerge as an attractive distribution channel for insurance. This trend will be led 
by two factors which already apply in other world markets. First, banking, 
insurance, fund management and other financial services will all form a set of 
services rather than disparate ones. 
Second, banks and finance companies are being driven to increase their 
profitability and provide maximum value to their customers. Therefore, they are 
themselves looking for a range of products to distribute. Though it is too early to 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
57
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
predict, the wide spread of bank branch network in India could lead to 
bancassurance emerging as a significant distribution mechanism.Insurers in 
India should also explore distribution through non-financial organizations. For 
example, insurance for consumer items such as refrigerators can be offered at 
the point of sale. This piggybacks on an existing distribution channel and 
increases the likelihood of insurance sales. Alliances with manufacturers or 
retailers of consumer goods will be possible. With Increasing competition, they 
are wooing customers with various incentives, of which insurance can be one. 
Another potential channel that reduces the need for an owned distribution 
network is worksite marketing. Insurers will be able to market pensions, health 
insurance and even other general covers through employers to their employees. 
These products may be purchased by the employer or simply marketed at the 
workplace with the employer’s co-operation. Pricing India is a very price sensitive 
market. However, 65 per cent of the business is in tariff, where pricing is still 
determined by the government, which decides the rates, terms & conditions for 
various businesses like Fire, Motor, Engineering, Workmen compensation 
insurance etc. It is going to change over the next few years. In non-tariff products 
like personal accident, Burglary, Cash-in-transit, marine transit etc. There is a lot 
of pressure on pricing. Although the insurers are free to quote the rates, 
companies will have to be reasonable while determining a pricing structure 
because, across the globe, there are instances of companies going bust while 
playing the game of undercutting state-run companies. 
One of the most significant changes in the financial services sector over 
the past few years has been the growth and development of bank & insurance. 
Banking institutions and insurance companies have found bank & insurance to 
be an attractive and profitable complement to their existing activities. The 
successes demonstrated by various bank & insurance operations particularly in 
Europe have triggered an avalanche of mergers and acquisitions across 
continents and efforts are on to replicate the early success of bank & insurance 
in other parts of the world as well.

Distribution is the key issue in bank & insurance and is closely linked to 
the regulatory climate of the country. Over the years, regulatory barriers between 
banking and insurance have diminished and have created a climate increasingly 
friendly to bank & insurance. The passage of Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999 in 
US and IRDA Bill in India in 2000 have stimulated the growth of bank & 
insurance by allowing use of multiple distribution channels by banks and 
insurance companies. 
bank & insurance experience in Europe as well as in other select countries offers 
valuable guidance for those interested in insurance distribution through the 
banking channel in developing markets. Many banks and insurers are looking 
with great interest at building new revenue through bank & insurance - including 
large, traditional companies that wouldn't have considered such an approach 
about a decade ago. Of particular interest, many believe, is the potential for bank 
& insurance in developing economies such as those of Latin America and 
Southeast Asia. 
Distribution channels in bank & insurance 
Traditionally, insurance products have been promoted and sold principally 
through agency systems in most countries. With new developments in 
consumers’ behaviours, evolution of technology and deregulation, new 
distribution channels have been developed successfully and rapidly in recent 
years. bank & insurance make use of various distribution channels: 
-Career Agents 
-Special Advisers 
-Salaried Agents 
-Bank Employees / Platform Banking 
-Corporate Agencies and Brokerage Firms 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
59
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
-Direct Response 
-Internet 
-e-Brokerage 
-Outside Lead Generating Techniques 
The main characteristics of each of these channels are: 
Career Agents: 
Career Agents are full-time commissioned sales personnel holding an 
agency contract. They are generally considered to be independent contractors. 
Consequently an insurance company can exercise control only over the activities 
of the agent which are specified in his contract. Despite this limitation on control, 
career agents with suitable training, supervision and motivation can be highly 
productive and cost effective. Moreover their level of customer service is usually 
very high due to the renewal commissions, policy persistency bonuses, or other 
customer service-related awards paid to them. 
Many bank & insurance, however avoid this channel, believing that agents 
might oversell out of their interest in quantity and not quality. Such problems with 
career agents usually arise, not due to the nature of this channel, but rather due 
to the use of improperly designed remuneration and/or incentive packages 
. 
Special Advisers: 
Special Advisers are highly trained employees usually belonging to the 
insurance partner, who distribute insurance products to the bank's corporate 
clients. Banks refer complex insurance requirements to these advisors. The 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
60
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
Clients mostly include affluent population who require personalised and high 
quality service. Usually Special advisors are paid on a salary basis and they 
receive incentive compensation based on their sales. 
Salaried Agents: 
Having Salaried Agents has the advantages of them being fully under the 
control and supervision of bank & insurance. These agents share the mission 
and objectives of the bank & insurance. Salaried Agents in bank & insurance are 
similar to their counterparts in traditional insurance companies and have the 
same characteristics as career agents. The only difference in terms of their 
remuneration is that they are paid on a salary basis and career agents receive 
incentive compensation based on their sales. Some bank & insurance, 
concerned at the bad publicity which they have received as a result of their 
career agents concentrating heavily on sales at the expense of customer service, 
have changed their sales forces to salaried agent status. 
Platform Bankers: 
Platform Bankers are bank employees who spot the leads in the banks 
and gently suggest the customer to walk over and speak with appropriate 
representative within the bank. The platform banker may be a teller or a personal 
loan assistant and the representative being referred to may be a tarined bank 
employee or a representative from the partner insurance company. 
Platform Bankers can usually sell simple products. However, the time 
which they can devote to insurance sales is limited, e.g. due to limited opening 
hours and to the need to perform other banking duties. A further restriction on the 
effectiveness of bank employees in generating insurance business is that they 
have a limited target market, i.e. those customers who actually visit the branch 
during the opening hours. 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
61
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
In many set-ups, the bank employees are assisted by the bank's financial 
advisers. In both cases, the bank employee establishes the contact to the client 
and usually sells the simple product whilst the more affluent clients are attended 
by the financial advisers of the bank which are in a position to sell the more 
complex products. The financial advisers either sell in the branch but some 
banks have also established mobile sales forces. 
If bank employees only act as "passive" insurance sales staff (or do not 
actively generate leads), then the bank & insurance potential can be severely 
impeded. However, if bank employees are used as "active" centres of influence 
to refer warm leads to salaried agents, career agents or special advisers, 
production volumes can be very high and profitable to bank & insurance. 
Set-up / Acquisition of agencies or brokerage firms: 
In the US, quite a number of banks cooperate with independent agencies 
or brokerage firms whilst in Japan or South Korea banks have founded corporate 
agencies. The advantage of such arrangements is the availability of specialists 
needed for complex insurance matters and -in the case of brokerage firms - the 
opportunity for the bank clients to receive offers not only from one insurance 
company but from a variety of companies. In addition, these sales channels are 
more conceived to serve the affluent bank client. 
Direct Response: 
In this channel no salesperson visits the customer to induce a sale and no 
face-to-face contact between consumer and seller occurs. The consumer 
purchases products directly from the bank & insurance by responding to the 
company's advertisement, mailing or telephone offers. This channel can be used 
for simple packaged products which can be easily understood by the consumer 
without explanation. 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
62
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
Internet: 
Internet banking is already securely established as an effective and 
profitable basis for conducting banking operations. The reasonable expectation is 
that personal banking services will increasingly be delivered by Internet banking. 
bank & insurance can also feel confident that Internet banking will also prove an 
efficient vehicle for cross selling of insurance savings and protection products. It 
seems likely that a growing proportion of the affluent population, everyone's 
target market, will find banks with household name brands and proven skills in e-business 
a very acceptable source of non-banking products. 
There is now the Internet, which looms large as an effective source of 
information for financial product sales. Banks are well advised to make their new 
websites as interactive as possible, providing more than mere standard bank 
data and current rates. Functions requiring user input (check ordering, what-if 
calculations, credit and account applications) should be immediately added with 
links to the insurer. Such an arrangement can also provide a vehicle for 
insurance sales, service and leads. 
E-Brokerage: 
Banks can open or acquire an e-Brokerage arm and sell insurance 
products from multiple insurers. The changed legislative climate across the world 
should help migration of bank & insurance in this direction. The advantage of this 
medium is scale of operation, strong brands, easy distribution and excellent 
synergy with the internet capabilities. 
Outside Lead Generating Techniques: 
One last method for developing bank & insurance eyes involves "outside" 
lead generating techniques, such as seminars, direct mail and statement inserts. 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
63
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
Seminars in particular can be very effective because in a non-threatening 
atmosphere the insurance counselor can make a presentation to a small group of 
business people (such as the local chamber of commerce), field questions on the 
topic, then collect business cards. Adding this technique to his/her lead 
generation repertoire, an insurance counselor often cannot help but be 
successful. 
To make the overall sales effort pay anticipated benefits, insurers need to 
also help their bank partners determine what the “hot buttons” will be for 
attracting the attention of the reader of both direct and e-mail. Great opportunities 
await bank & insurance partners today and, in most cases, success or failure 
depends on precisely how the process is developed and managed inside each 
financial institution. This includes the large regional bank and the small one-unit 
community bank.

Suggestions and Conclusion 
It is not possible to market insurance on sole marketing channel we should 
integrated different channel & business model to become successful in insurance 
business. Following are some suggestions to achieve that. 
Distribution Models 
Bank & insurance have developed three basic distribution models: 
Integrative, Specialist and Financial Planning model. 
Integrative / Generalist Model: 
The integrative model distributes products through existing bank channels, 
and in its most well-known European version, branch bankers themselves sell 
insurance products to customers. Theoretically, this offers “One Stop Banking” 
and requires extensive training to branch staff. Bank staff are supposed to know 
the details of all the insurance products on offer. Telemarketing and direct mail 
are also examples of integrative approaches. 
Specialist Model: 
The specialist model distributes investment or other complex insurance 
products through product experts who are generally employees or 
representatives of the insurance company. Platform bankers help identify 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
65
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
prospects who are then contacted by an insurance professional. This process 
requires less training bur requires higher compensation to support the referral 
process. This model may not meet all of customers’ needs since it lengthens the 
process of sale of even a simple insurance product which can otherwise be sold 
across the counter. 
Financial Planning Model: 
The “financial planning” model is the only “team” approach. This method 
offers each customer and prospect a full financial planning package addressing 
all of the individual's financial concerns, risk tolerances and location in the cycle 
of life. This process is beneficial for the customer, the bank and the insurer, as 
the customer is viewed “outside the numbers”. bank & insurance convey the 
message that they want to know all about the customer in relation to their current 
and future financial needs and want to assist them on all those aspects of their 
life. 
To move a bank in the direction of becoming an effective user of the 
financial planning model, the bank’s sales force first has to be taught how to 
qualify prospects and make referrals and properly approach the 
customer/prospect. This process will include and actively involve the bank & 
insurance’s project in charge who is best acquainted with pertinent federal and 
state regulations for the bank’s geographic market area. 
Insurers' bank partners must then learn how to spot existingdepositors 
/borrowers' “life triggers,” i.e., milestones in a life that represent insurance 
opportunities. Although bank representatives have always done this in 
conjunction with bank products, it is new to them to apply this concept to 
insurance products as well. For example, a younger depositor mentions he is 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
66
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
withdrawing part of his savings to purchase his first car. Knowledgeable bank 
representatives or platform bankers would immediately understand the 
requirement for the car insurance and may be personal accident insurance. 
These bank staff functioning now as financial services representatives can 
provide such sound practical advice, i.e., an insurance product to fit customer 
current and future needs. 
In general, a well-trained sales person can always count on certain “life 
triggers” -birth, death, divorce, career change or other catastrophic event—to 
lead his or her regular bank customers to new insurance products. If the bank’s 
personnel are shown how to capitalize upon these triggers using insurance 
products, they will automatically provide referrals to the insurance group and 
insurance sales will follow. 
Either of these distribution models works under the right circumstances. 
What's most important is whether the model is compatible with the bank's 
customer base and the insurance company's strategic objectives. European bank 
& insurance experience shows that the Financial Planning Model is an extremely 
productive way to reach a large number of bank customers. 
Key Value Drivers 
Which distribution model to use is a tactical decision secondary to more 
basic strategic concerns. bank & insurance strategies should be driven by 
markets and channels, encompass a broad range of tactics and practices, and 
leverage the competencies of the bank and the insurer. They should identify and 
build upon a discrete set of value drivers, those factors of such fundamental 
importance that to ignore any one of them could be fatal to the success of the 
project. The following four value drivers should be considered in a bank & 
insurance strategy: 
Brand equity. 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
67
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
The strategy should leverage the bank's brand equity with consumers. 
Consumers throughout the world rate bankers higher than insurance agents in 
terms of such criteria as objectivity of advice and product knowledge. A 
rationalized bank & insurance strategy will build on the superior brand equity of 
banks by integrating insurance into the bank product portfolio and distribution 
infrastructure. For many customers, banks can become the primary providers of 
financial services by supplying personal risk management along with more 
traditional banking services. Lloyds TSB has been using its own brand name for 
a long time and have only recently indicated rebranding after acquiring Scottish 
Widow. Halifax and Abbey National continue to use their own brand names 
despite acquiring Clerical Medical and Scottish Mutual. 
Distribution. The distribution model should accomplish the following objectives: 
1) It should cater to all segments of the banking population 
2) It should work as a single shop for all financial requirements for the bank 
customer 
3) It should effectively utilize the existing branch banking platform 
4) It should take advantage of the multiple sales opportunities afforded by the 
bank's other distribution channels 
5)It should strive for congruence between product characteristics and channel. 
One of the key economic advantages of bank & insurance is the savings 
achieved through efficient utilization of the bank's existing distribution channels. 
At some point in the development of a bank & insurance operation, the marginal 
cost of adding one more customer becomes negligible. bank & insurance can 
reduce significantly the costs of agent recruitment, selection and conservation. 
These savings can be passed on to consumers through lower premiums, or the 
bank can maintain the premiums at market level in order to increase profitability. 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
68
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
Because the lower and middle segments of the life market are not price-sensitive, 
the second option is often more desirable. 
Technology. 
Bank & insurance should plan a technological infrastructure that will 
exploit customer information found in the bank's database to uncover sales 
opportunities and produce transactional simplicity for insurance customers. 
The information banks have about their customers' buying habits, 
economic status and money management practices constitutes a valuable asset 
often unrecognized even by large, sophisticated banking institutions. Using 
technology to order information about the economic behaviour of customer 
segments can provide valuable insights about insurance-selling opportunities. 
For instance, customers buying a home through a bank mortgage can be 
approached for a variety of insurance products. With a traditional insurer, 
behavioural information about policyholders is usually unavailable, but even 
when known, can only be employed by agents (who have an economic interest in 
thwarting a direct relationship between the company and the client). 
Bank & insurance should use technology to simplify the insurance 
purchase as much as possible, thereby making the purchase an easier, more 
pleasant experience and further differentiating themselves in the process. Buying 
insurance in the traditional way means dealing with agents and the complications 
of the underwriting process, which bank & insurance can eliminate. Branch 
customers are usually in a hurry and don't want to wait, so banks will serve them 
best by simplification. With point-of-sale technology, customers should be able to 
buy policies in a short time and leave the bank with coverage in hand. 
Particularly with an intangible such as an insurance policy, the buying experience 
itself is a key part of the purchase. bank & insurance should make the experience 
as positive as possible, and technology can contribute greatly to this effort.

IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
Culture. 
An effective bank & insurance strategy acknowledges the fundamental 
cultural conflict between the bank and the insurance company by aligning the 
bank's interests with those of the insurance company. Without the bank's total 
commitment to the insurance strategy, any bank & insurance program is doomed 
to fail. One of the more effective ways to achieve this commitment is for the bank 
to have an equity interest in the insurance company. With a stake in the financial 
results of the insurance operation, the bank has a powerful in-centive to support 
the insurance strategy. The alternative approach, buying "shelf space" in the 
bank to sell insurance products, will rarely be as effective. 
In any given situation, one of the four value drivers may greatly outweigh the 
importance of the others. In some cases, solving the cultural problem may loom 
especially large, while in others building an effective technology platform may be 
paramount. bank & insurance will need to consider all four, however, to achieve 
successful balance. 
Trends in Mature Markets 
Bank & insurance has blossomed across Europe with penetration rates 
ranging from 20 percent of pensions and life premiums in Germany to 73 percent 
in spain, according to Data monitor. In the UK, around 10 percent of life 
insurance premium income is generated regularly through bank & insurance 
channel. 
The success of bank & insurance in European countries to date and its 
projected future growth are eagerly trumpeted by investment bankers, particularly 
to clients considering entering the market. In their view, bank & insurance is one 
of the primary beneficiaries of the global movement toward liberalization and 
subsequent integration of financial services. Clearly, the concept of one-stop 
shopping, or allfinanz, is more advanced in some European markets where the 
process of integration of financial services is further along.

European experience shows that tax-advantaged insurance products with 
an emphasis on savings accumulation can be successful in the banking channel 
under certain circumstances. Protection products, such as pure term insurance, 
are rarely promoted, and the big sellers are investment products with an 
insurance wrapper. These products tend to compete with banking or investment 
products rather than other insurance products. 
In some countries, such as France and Spain, favourable tax treatment 
affords bank & insurance products competitive advantages. On certain pension 
products sold in Europe through banks, the tax advantages are substantial, 
sometimes even including deductible premiums. In the United States, where 
bank & insurance has achieved more modest success, it is openly acknowledged 
that the market for annuities sold through banks and insurance agents would 
evaporate if the government withdrew the favourable tax treatment of these 
products. However, annuities continue to enjoy tax advantages, and the market 
for these products through the bank channel is booming. 
Distribution Strategies in an Emerging Market 
The business model for bank & insurance in Europe does not necessarily 
transfer to the regulatory and economic environment of a developing market. To 
succeed in emerging markets, bank marketers will have to develop unique 
strategies consistently attuned to local customer expectations and consistent with 
bank distribution capabilities. The biggest challenge is determining how to reach 
the middle and lower-middle economic classes, which comprise the largest group 
of bank customers in such countries. 
A frequent mistake made by many bankers and insurers is their failure to 
develop unique strategies specifically for bank & insurance. Instead, they simply 
extend their traditional agency distribution approach, because they view bank & 
insurance as just another means of reaching their existing market of affluent 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
71
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
consumers. Agents typically target the affluent because the average revenue per 
customer is sufficient to support the fixed and variable costs of the distribution 
system. The agency channel thus perpetuates itself: commissioned agents sell to 
affluent customers because they generate enough revenue to make it profitable 
to sell to other affluent customers. Because agents are the insurance company's 
true customers, insurers provide them with products suitable for sale to the 
affluent. 
In developing markets, affluent populations are much smaller than their 
counterparts in North America or Europe. Although distribution models geared to 
wealthier bank customers exist, bank & insurance who pursue this segment of 
the market are forced to compete directly with traditional insurers. In a 
developing market, a strategy focused solely on affluent customers ignores the 
largest group of bank customers. 
A successful bank & insurance strategy focused on middle and lower-middle 
income segments of the bank marketplace requires insurers to rethink 
assumptions. To fully exploit the potential of the mass-market banking channel, 
insurers need new types of distribution, underwriting, administration, policy issue 
and delivery, premium collection procedures, customer service strategies and 
sales approaches. In bank & insurance, technology must be combined with 
fundamental knowledge of insurance to develop processes unique to the banking 
environment. 
Distribution Channels and Product Complexity 
The design and implementation of the distribution model is as important, if 
not more so, than product design in bank & insurance (except for the few clients 
who require customized product solutions for individual financial planning needs). 
If an insurance or investment product offers basic protection or the promise of 
reasonable return at a fair price, consumers will buy it if the product, the 
distribution system and the channel are compatible. Low penetration of insurance 
NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 
72
IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD 
in emerging markets is not a failure of product design, but a failure of the 
distribution system. 
The diagram below demonstrates that products at varying levels of 
complexity require different distribution channels and cost structures. As products 
become more customized, the complexity of the product and the cost of 
distribution (expressed as the cost-per-customer contact) increases. As a result, 
the product and distribution system must also change. Complicated estate or 
retirement planning cannot succeed via direct mail, and it's not economically 
feasible to sell only accidental death through an external agency force. In a 
traditional sales environment, neither the company nor the agent can earn 
adequate profits selling a low-premium product (such as accidental death) 
because costs are too high. Conversely, a direct mail company can be 
enormously successful selling an accident product with an average premium of 
only $100 because the cost per solicitation can be kept low 
To be successful, the components of a distribution model must work 
together; product features and benefits, distribution costs and marketing 
channels all should complement each other. Bancassurers can tap all the

  • 2. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Introduction Of industry Introduction Insurance in India started without any regulation in the Nineteenth Century. It was a typical story of a colonial era: a few British insurance companies dominating the market serving mostly large urban centers. After the independence, it took a dramatic turn. Insurance was nationalized. First, the life insurance companies were nationalized in 1956, and then the general insurance business was nationalized in 1972. Only in 1999 private insurance companies have been allowed back into the business of insurance with a maximum of 26% of foreign holding & latest updating about the same is proposed to be 49%. History of General Insurance in India The Indian insurance industry is segmented into two distinct markets: the life insurance market and the non-life, or general, insurance market. The General insurance business in India can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in India are: · 1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company to transact all classes of general insurance business. · 1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of India, frames a code of conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.

  • 5. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD maximizes the foreign exchange balance by acting as an international insurer accepting risks from all over the globe. India vs. Global Market India's insurance penetration is low at 1.95 per cent and ranks 51 in the world. In premium collection the record is better, at 23rd position. The ratio of premium collected to gross domestic product is a mere 0.58 per cent. Compared with an average of 7.1 percent in most industrialized countries. India is still at a very nascent stage with an $8-9 (Rs.400-450) per capita expenditure on insurance, out of which $2 to $2.5(Rs.100-150) will be on general insurance. This was primarily because in India non-life insurance is not considered important and people perceive it as an unnecessary expenditure. Non-life insurance premium at a percentage of GDP is estimated at 2.70 for Japan, 2.55 for South Korea, 1.89 for Malaysia, 1.62 for Singapore, 1.38 for Taiwan, 1.23 for Thailand, 0.86 for the Philippines, 0.68 for China, 0.66 for Indonesia, and 0.51 for Pakistan.

  • 6. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD The Indian insurance sector will register a high growth rate in the future years to come, says the report prepared by Fitch Ratings. This will be due to the innovative products, better distribution network, better services coupled with other never-before changes that have taken place in the insurance sector. The report laid stress on branding, customer service and tailor made products that will assume importance besides information technology that will become vital to bring down costs in the future. Also data warehousing, ensuring effective cross selling will grown in importance to exploit the largely unexploited market. Regulations In India Insurance is a federal subject. The primary legislation that deals with insurance business in India is: Insurance Regulatory Authority On the recommendation of Malhotra Committee, an Insurance Regulatory Development Act (IRDA) passed by Indian Parliament in 1993. Its main aim was to activate an insurance regulatory apparatus essential for proper monitoring and control of the Insurance industry. Due to this Act several Indian private companies have entered into the insurance market, and some companies have joined with foreign partners. In economic reform process, the Insurance Companies has given boost to the socio-economic development process. The huge amount of funds that are at the disposal of Insurance Companies are directed as desired avenues like housing, safe drinking water, electricity, primary education and infrastructure. Above all the policyholders gets better pricing of products from competitive insurance companies. Liberalization The opening up of Insurance sector was a part of the ongoing liberalization in the financial sector of India. The domain of State-run insurance companies was thrown open to private enterprise on December 7, 1999, with the introduction of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Bill. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 6
  • 7. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD The opening up of the sector gave way to the world known names in the industry to enter the Indian market through tie-ups with the eminent business houses. What was once a quiet business is becoming one of the hottest businesses today. Post liberalization The changing face of financial sector and the entry of several companies in the field of non-life Insurance segment are one of the key results of these liberalization efforts. Insurance business by way of generating premium income adds significantly to the GDP. Despite the fact that the market is vast in India for the Insurance business, the coverage is far less compared with the international standards. Estimates show that a meager 35-40 million, out of a population of 950 million, have come so far under the umbrella of the insurance industry. The potential market is so huge that it can grow by 15 to 17 per cent per annum. With the entry of private players, the Indian Insurance Market may finally be able to make deeper penetration in to newer segments and expand the market size manifold. The quality of service will also improve and there will be wide range of product catering to the needs of different customers. The pace for claims settlement is also expected to improve due to increased competition. The general insurance market in India is likely to be risky in the initial stages, but this will improve in the next three to five years Therefore, it may be advantageous to be a second-round entrant. In the general insurance market the need to build trust over time is less important than in the life market because the risk assessment systems and data that are the key to success in the general insurance market are significantly underdeveloped in India even today Market Players General Insurers: NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 7

  • 29. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD · Definition: "Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby one party called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum called premiums, to pay the other party called insured a fixed amount of money on the happening of a certain event." Insurance is a protection against financial loss arising on the happening of an unexpected event. Insurance companies collect premiums to provide for this protection. A loss is paid out of the premiums collected from the insuring public and the Insurance Companies act as trustees to the amount collected. For Example, in a Life Policy, by paying a premium to the Insurer, the family of the insured person receives a fixed compensation on the death of the insured. Similarly, in car insurance, in the event of the car meeting with an accident, the insured receives the compensation to the extent of damage. It is a system by which the losses suffered by a few are spread over many, exposed to similar risks. · Why should you take Insurance? Insurance is desired to safeguard oneself and one's family against possible losses on account of risks and perils. It provides financial compensation for the losses suffered due to the happening of any unforeseen events. By taking life insurance a person can have peace of mind and need not worry about the financial consequences in case of any untimely death. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 29

  • 57. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Channel of Distribution: Till few years back, the only mode of distribution of insurance products was through Agents. While agents continue to be the predominant distribution channel, today a number of innovative alternative channels are being offered to consumers. A substantial shift in the distribution of insurance in India is expected. Many of these changes will echo international trends. Worldwide, Insurance products move along a continuum from pure service products to pure commodity products initially, insurance is seen as a complex product with a high advice and service component. Buyers prefer a face-to-face interaction and place a high premium on brand names and reliability. As products become simpler and awareness increases, they become off-the-shelf, commodity products. Sellers move to remote channels such as the telephone or direct mail. Insurance is sold by various intermediaries, not necessarily insurance companies. Some of them are brokers, the internet and direct marketing. Banks and finance companies will emerge as an attractive distribution channel for insurance. This trend will be led by two factors which already apply in other world markets. First, banking, insurance, fund management and other financial services will all form a set of services rather than disparate ones. Second, banks and finance companies are being driven to increase their profitability and provide maximum value to their customers. Therefore, they are themselves looking for a range of products to distribute. Though it is too early to NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 57
  • 58. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD predict, the wide spread of bank branch network in India could lead to bancassurance emerging as a significant distribution mechanism.Insurers in India should also explore distribution through non-financial organizations. For example, insurance for consumer items such as refrigerators can be offered at the point of sale. This piggybacks on an existing distribution channel and increases the likelihood of insurance sales. Alliances with manufacturers or retailers of consumer goods will be possible. With Increasing competition, they are wooing customers with various incentives, of which insurance can be one. Another potential channel that reduces the need for an owned distribution network is worksite marketing. Insurers will be able to market pensions, health insurance and even other general covers through employers to their employees. These products may be purchased by the employer or simply marketed at the workplace with the employer’s co-operation. Pricing India is a very price sensitive market. However, 65 per cent of the business is in tariff, where pricing is still determined by the government, which decides the rates, terms & conditions for various businesses like Fire, Motor, Engineering, Workmen compensation insurance etc. It is going to change over the next few years. In non-tariff products like personal accident, Burglary, Cash-in-transit, marine transit etc. There is a lot of pressure on pricing. Although the insurers are free to quote the rates, companies will have to be reasonable while determining a pricing structure because, across the globe, there are instances of companies going bust while playing the game of undercutting state-run companies. One of the most significant changes in the financial services sector over the past few years has been the growth and development of bank & insurance. Banking institutions and insurance companies have found bank & insurance to be an attractive and profitable complement to their existing activities. The successes demonstrated by various bank & insurance operations particularly in Europe have triggered an avalanche of mergers and acquisitions across continents and efforts are on to replicate the early success of bank & insurance in other parts of the world as well. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 58
  • 59. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Distribution is the key issue in bank & insurance and is closely linked to the regulatory climate of the country. Over the years, regulatory barriers between banking and insurance have diminished and have created a climate increasingly friendly to bank & insurance. The passage of Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999 in US and IRDA Bill in India in 2000 have stimulated the growth of bank & insurance by allowing use of multiple distribution channels by banks and insurance companies. bank & insurance experience in Europe as well as in other select countries offers valuable guidance for those interested in insurance distribution through the banking channel in developing markets. Many banks and insurers are looking with great interest at building new revenue through bank & insurance - including large, traditional companies that wouldn't have considered such an approach about a decade ago. Of particular interest, many believe, is the potential for bank & insurance in developing economies such as those of Latin America and Southeast Asia. Distribution channels in bank & insurance Traditionally, insurance products have been promoted and sold principally through agency systems in most countries. With new developments in consumers’ behaviours, evolution of technology and deregulation, new distribution channels have been developed successfully and rapidly in recent years. bank & insurance make use of various distribution channels: -Career Agents -Special Advisers -Salaried Agents -Bank Employees / Platform Banking -Corporate Agencies and Brokerage Firms NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 59
  • 60. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD -Direct Response -Internet -e-Brokerage -Outside Lead Generating Techniques The main characteristics of each of these channels are: Career Agents: Career Agents are full-time commissioned sales personnel holding an agency contract. They are generally considered to be independent contractors. Consequently an insurance company can exercise control only over the activities of the agent which are specified in his contract. Despite this limitation on control, career agents with suitable training, supervision and motivation can be highly productive and cost effective. Moreover their level of customer service is usually very high due to the renewal commissions, policy persistency bonuses, or other customer service-related awards paid to them. Many bank & insurance, however avoid this channel, believing that agents might oversell out of their interest in quantity and not quality. Such problems with career agents usually arise, not due to the nature of this channel, but rather due to the use of improperly designed remuneration and/or incentive packages . Special Advisers: Special Advisers are highly trained employees usually belonging to the insurance partner, who distribute insurance products to the bank's corporate clients. Banks refer complex insurance requirements to these advisors. The NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 60
  • 61. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Clients mostly include affluent population who require personalised and high quality service. Usually Special advisors are paid on a salary basis and they receive incentive compensation based on their sales. Salaried Agents: Having Salaried Agents has the advantages of them being fully under the control and supervision of bank & insurance. These agents share the mission and objectives of the bank & insurance. Salaried Agents in bank & insurance are similar to their counterparts in traditional insurance companies and have the same characteristics as career agents. The only difference in terms of their remuneration is that they are paid on a salary basis and career agents receive incentive compensation based on their sales. Some bank & insurance, concerned at the bad publicity which they have received as a result of their career agents concentrating heavily on sales at the expense of customer service, have changed their sales forces to salaried agent status. Platform Bankers: Platform Bankers are bank employees who spot the leads in the banks and gently suggest the customer to walk over and speak with appropriate representative within the bank. The platform banker may be a teller or a personal loan assistant and the representative being referred to may be a tarined bank employee or a representative from the partner insurance company. Platform Bankers can usually sell simple products. However, the time which they can devote to insurance sales is limited, e.g. due to limited opening hours and to the need to perform other banking duties. A further restriction on the effectiveness of bank employees in generating insurance business is that they have a limited target market, i.e. those customers who actually visit the branch during the opening hours. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 61
  • 62. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD In many set-ups, the bank employees are assisted by the bank's financial advisers. In both cases, the bank employee establishes the contact to the client and usually sells the simple product whilst the more affluent clients are attended by the financial advisers of the bank which are in a position to sell the more complex products. The financial advisers either sell in the branch but some banks have also established mobile sales forces. If bank employees only act as "passive" insurance sales staff (or do not actively generate leads), then the bank & insurance potential can be severely impeded. However, if bank employees are used as "active" centres of influence to refer warm leads to salaried agents, career agents or special advisers, production volumes can be very high and profitable to bank & insurance. Set-up / Acquisition of agencies or brokerage firms: In the US, quite a number of banks cooperate with independent agencies or brokerage firms whilst in Japan or South Korea banks have founded corporate agencies. The advantage of such arrangements is the availability of specialists needed for complex insurance matters and -in the case of brokerage firms - the opportunity for the bank clients to receive offers not only from one insurance company but from a variety of companies. In addition, these sales channels are more conceived to serve the affluent bank client. Direct Response: In this channel no salesperson visits the customer to induce a sale and no face-to-face contact between consumer and seller occurs. The consumer purchases products directly from the bank & insurance by responding to the company's advertisement, mailing or telephone offers. This channel can be used for simple packaged products which can be easily understood by the consumer without explanation. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 62
  • 63. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Internet: Internet banking is already securely established as an effective and profitable basis for conducting banking operations. The reasonable expectation is that personal banking services will increasingly be delivered by Internet banking. bank & insurance can also feel confident that Internet banking will also prove an efficient vehicle for cross selling of insurance savings and protection products. It seems likely that a growing proportion of the affluent population, everyone's target market, will find banks with household name brands and proven skills in e-business a very acceptable source of non-banking products. There is now the Internet, which looms large as an effective source of information for financial product sales. Banks are well advised to make their new websites as interactive as possible, providing more than mere standard bank data and current rates. Functions requiring user input (check ordering, what-if calculations, credit and account applications) should be immediately added with links to the insurer. Such an arrangement can also provide a vehicle for insurance sales, service and leads. E-Brokerage: Banks can open or acquire an e-Brokerage arm and sell insurance products from multiple insurers. The changed legislative climate across the world should help migration of bank & insurance in this direction. The advantage of this medium is scale of operation, strong brands, easy distribution and excellent synergy with the internet capabilities. Outside Lead Generating Techniques: One last method for developing bank & insurance eyes involves "outside" lead generating techniques, such as seminars, direct mail and statement inserts. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 63
  • 64. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Seminars in particular can be very effective because in a non-threatening atmosphere the insurance counselor can make a presentation to a small group of business people (such as the local chamber of commerce), field questions on the topic, then collect business cards. Adding this technique to his/her lead generation repertoire, an insurance counselor often cannot help but be successful. To make the overall sales effort pay anticipated benefits, insurers need to also help their bank partners determine what the “hot buttons” will be for attracting the attention of the reader of both direct and e-mail. Great opportunities await bank & insurance partners today and, in most cases, success or failure depends on precisely how the process is developed and managed inside each financial institution. This includes the large regional bank and the small one-unit community bank. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 64
  • 65. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Suggestions and Conclusion It is not possible to market insurance on sole marketing channel we should integrated different channel & business model to become successful in insurance business. Following are some suggestions to achieve that. Distribution Models Bank & insurance have developed three basic distribution models: Integrative, Specialist and Financial Planning model. Integrative / Generalist Model: The integrative model distributes products through existing bank channels, and in its most well-known European version, branch bankers themselves sell insurance products to customers. Theoretically, this offers “One Stop Banking” and requires extensive training to branch staff. Bank staff are supposed to know the details of all the insurance products on offer. Telemarketing and direct mail are also examples of integrative approaches. Specialist Model: The specialist model distributes investment or other complex insurance products through product experts who are generally employees or representatives of the insurance company. Platform bankers help identify NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 65
  • 66. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD prospects who are then contacted by an insurance professional. This process requires less training bur requires higher compensation to support the referral process. This model may not meet all of customers’ needs since it lengthens the process of sale of even a simple insurance product which can otherwise be sold across the counter. Financial Planning Model: The “financial planning” model is the only “team” approach. This method offers each customer and prospect a full financial planning package addressing all of the individual's financial concerns, risk tolerances and location in the cycle of life. This process is beneficial for the customer, the bank and the insurer, as the customer is viewed “outside the numbers”. bank & insurance convey the message that they want to know all about the customer in relation to their current and future financial needs and want to assist them on all those aspects of their life. To move a bank in the direction of becoming an effective user of the financial planning model, the bank’s sales force first has to be taught how to qualify prospects and make referrals and properly approach the customer/prospect. This process will include and actively involve the bank & insurance’s project in charge who is best acquainted with pertinent federal and state regulations for the bank’s geographic market area. Insurers' bank partners must then learn how to spot existingdepositors /borrowers' “life triggers,” i.e., milestones in a life that represent insurance opportunities. Although bank representatives have always done this in conjunction with bank products, it is new to them to apply this concept to insurance products as well. For example, a younger depositor mentions he is NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 66
  • 67. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD withdrawing part of his savings to purchase his first car. Knowledgeable bank representatives or platform bankers would immediately understand the requirement for the car insurance and may be personal accident insurance. These bank staff functioning now as financial services representatives can provide such sound practical advice, i.e., an insurance product to fit customer current and future needs. In general, a well-trained sales person can always count on certain “life triggers” -birth, death, divorce, career change or other catastrophic event—to lead his or her regular bank customers to new insurance products. If the bank’s personnel are shown how to capitalize upon these triggers using insurance products, they will automatically provide referrals to the insurance group and insurance sales will follow. Either of these distribution models works under the right circumstances. What's most important is whether the model is compatible with the bank's customer base and the insurance company's strategic objectives. European bank & insurance experience shows that the Financial Planning Model is an extremely productive way to reach a large number of bank customers. Key Value Drivers Which distribution model to use is a tactical decision secondary to more basic strategic concerns. bank & insurance strategies should be driven by markets and channels, encompass a broad range of tactics and practices, and leverage the competencies of the bank and the insurer. They should identify and build upon a discrete set of value drivers, those factors of such fundamental importance that to ignore any one of them could be fatal to the success of the project. The following four value drivers should be considered in a bank & insurance strategy: Brand equity. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 67
  • 68. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD The strategy should leverage the bank's brand equity with consumers. Consumers throughout the world rate bankers higher than insurance agents in terms of such criteria as objectivity of advice and product knowledge. A rationalized bank & insurance strategy will build on the superior brand equity of banks by integrating insurance into the bank product portfolio and distribution infrastructure. For many customers, banks can become the primary providers of financial services by supplying personal risk management along with more traditional banking services. Lloyds TSB has been using its own brand name for a long time and have only recently indicated rebranding after acquiring Scottish Widow. Halifax and Abbey National continue to use their own brand names despite acquiring Clerical Medical and Scottish Mutual. Distribution. The distribution model should accomplish the following objectives: 1) It should cater to all segments of the banking population 2) It should work as a single shop for all financial requirements for the bank customer 3) It should effectively utilize the existing branch banking platform 4) It should take advantage of the multiple sales opportunities afforded by the bank's other distribution channels 5)It should strive for congruence between product characteristics and channel. One of the key economic advantages of bank & insurance is the savings achieved through efficient utilization of the bank's existing distribution channels. At some point in the development of a bank & insurance operation, the marginal cost of adding one more customer becomes negligible. bank & insurance can reduce significantly the costs of agent recruitment, selection and conservation. These savings can be passed on to consumers through lower premiums, or the bank can maintain the premiums at market level in order to increase profitability. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 68
  • 69. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Because the lower and middle segments of the life market are not price-sensitive, the second option is often more desirable. Technology. Bank & insurance should plan a technological infrastructure that will exploit customer information found in the bank's database to uncover sales opportunities and produce transactional simplicity for insurance customers. The information banks have about their customers' buying habits, economic status and money management practices constitutes a valuable asset often unrecognized even by large, sophisticated banking institutions. Using technology to order information about the economic behaviour of customer segments can provide valuable insights about insurance-selling opportunities. For instance, customers buying a home through a bank mortgage can be approached for a variety of insurance products. With a traditional insurer, behavioural information about policyholders is usually unavailable, but even when known, can only be employed by agents (who have an economic interest in thwarting a direct relationship between the company and the client). Bank & insurance should use technology to simplify the insurance purchase as much as possible, thereby making the purchase an easier, more pleasant experience and further differentiating themselves in the process. Buying insurance in the traditional way means dealing with agents and the complications of the underwriting process, which bank & insurance can eliminate. Branch customers are usually in a hurry and don't want to wait, so banks will serve them best by simplification. With point-of-sale technology, customers should be able to buy policies in a short time and leave the bank with coverage in hand. Particularly with an intangible such as an insurance policy, the buying experience itself is a key part of the purchase. bank & insurance should make the experience as positive as possible, and technology can contribute greatly to this effort. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 69
  • 70. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD Culture. An effective bank & insurance strategy acknowledges the fundamental cultural conflict between the bank and the insurance company by aligning the bank's interests with those of the insurance company. Without the bank's total commitment to the insurance strategy, any bank & insurance program is doomed to fail. One of the more effective ways to achieve this commitment is for the bank to have an equity interest in the insurance company. With a stake in the financial results of the insurance operation, the bank has a powerful in-centive to support the insurance strategy. The alternative approach, buying "shelf space" in the bank to sell insurance products, will rarely be as effective. In any given situation, one of the four value drivers may greatly outweigh the importance of the others. In some cases, solving the cultural problem may loom especially large, while in others building an effective technology platform may be paramount. bank & insurance will need to consider all four, however, to achieve successful balance. Trends in Mature Markets Bank & insurance has blossomed across Europe with penetration rates ranging from 20 percent of pensions and life premiums in Germany to 73 percent in spain, according to Data monitor. In the UK, around 10 percent of life insurance premium income is generated regularly through bank & insurance channel. The success of bank & insurance in European countries to date and its projected future growth are eagerly trumpeted by investment bankers, particularly to clients considering entering the market. In their view, bank & insurance is one of the primary beneficiaries of the global movement toward liberalization and subsequent integration of financial services. Clearly, the concept of one-stop shopping, or allfinanz, is more advanced in some European markets where the process of integration of financial services is further along. NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 70
  • 71. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD European experience shows that tax-advantaged insurance products with an emphasis on savings accumulation can be successful in the banking channel under certain circumstances. Protection products, such as pure term insurance, are rarely promoted, and the big sellers are investment products with an insurance wrapper. These products tend to compete with banking or investment products rather than other insurance products. In some countries, such as France and Spain, favourable tax treatment affords bank & insurance products competitive advantages. On certain pension products sold in Europe through banks, the tax advantages are substantial, sometimes even including deductible premiums. In the United States, where bank & insurance has achieved more modest success, it is openly acknowledged that the market for annuities sold through banks and insurance agents would evaporate if the government withdrew the favourable tax treatment of these products. However, annuities continue to enjoy tax advantages, and the market for these products through the bank channel is booming. Distribution Strategies in an Emerging Market The business model for bank & insurance in Europe does not necessarily transfer to the regulatory and economic environment of a developing market. To succeed in emerging markets, bank marketers will have to develop unique strategies consistently attuned to local customer expectations and consistent with bank distribution capabilities. The biggest challenge is determining how to reach the middle and lower-middle economic classes, which comprise the largest group of bank customers in such countries. A frequent mistake made by many bankers and insurers is their failure to develop unique strategies specifically for bank & insurance. Instead, they simply extend their traditional agency distribution approach, because they view bank & insurance as just another means of reaching their existing market of affluent NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 71
  • 72. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD consumers. Agents typically target the affluent because the average revenue per customer is sufficient to support the fixed and variable costs of the distribution system. The agency channel thus perpetuates itself: commissioned agents sell to affluent customers because they generate enough revenue to make it profitable to sell to other affluent customers. Because agents are the insurance company's true customers, insurers provide them with products suitable for sale to the affluent. In developing markets, affluent populations are much smaller than their counterparts in North America or Europe. Although distribution models geared to wealthier bank customers exist, bank & insurance who pursue this segment of the market are forced to compete directly with traditional insurers. In a developing market, a strategy focused solely on affluent customers ignores the largest group of bank customers. A successful bank & insurance strategy focused on middle and lower-middle income segments of the bank marketplace requires insurers to rethink assumptions. To fully exploit the potential of the mass-market banking channel, insurers need new types of distribution, underwriting, administration, policy issue and delivery, premium collection procedures, customer service strategies and sales approaches. In bank & insurance, technology must be combined with fundamental knowledge of insurance to develop processes unique to the banking environment. Distribution Channels and Product Complexity The design and implementation of the distribution model is as important, if not more so, than product design in bank & insurance (except for the few clients who require customized product solutions for individual financial planning needs). If an insurance or investment product offers basic protection or the promise of reasonable return at a fair price, consumers will buy it if the product, the distribution system and the channel are compatible. Low penetration of insurance NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 72
  • 73. IFFCO-TOKIO GENERAL INSURANCE CO.LTD in emerging markets is not a failure of product design, but a failure of the distribution system. The diagram below demonstrates that products at varying levels of complexity require different distribution channels and cost structures. As products become more customized, the complexity of the product and the cost of distribution (expressed as the cost-per-customer contact) increases. As a result, the product and distribution system must also change. Complicated estate or retirement planning cannot succeed via direct mail, and it's not economically feasible to sell only accidental death through an external agency force. In a traditional sales environment, neither the company nor the agent can earn adequate profits selling a low-premium product (such as accidental death) because costs are too high. Conversely, a direct mail company can be enormously successful selling an accident product with an average premium of only $100 because the cost per solicitation can be kept low To be successful, the components of a distribution model must work together; product features and benefits, distribution costs and marketing channels all should complement each other. Bancassurers can tap all the NAVANITLAL RANCHHODLAL INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 73
