CHAPTER 1. BASIC THEORY OF INSURANCE AND BANCASSURANCE
1.1. General definitions
Bank: is a type of credit institution that performs all banking activities.
goods and other related business activities.
Commercial bank: is a bank that carries out all banking activities and other related business activities for profit purposes, contributing to the implementation of the state's economic goals.
Insurance: is a commitment by the insurer to compensate the insured for losses of the insured object caused by agreed risks, provided that the insured has purchased insurance for that object and paid an amount of money called the insurance premium.
Insurance company: is an organization that raises capital by selling insurance certificates to the public and uses the raised capital to invest in the financial market.
1.2. Relationship between banking and insurance
Partnership
In a business activity, any cooperation between parties is based on a certain relationship of interests. Thus, when participating in cooperation to provide Bancassurance (which will be clearly defined in section 1.3.) in the market, both banks and insurance companies must find their own benefits.
In the condition that both sides (bank and insurance company) have conditions suitable for the needs of development, expansion, increasing market share, increasing revenue, they can support each other to develop together, leading to inevitable cooperation following the world trend of banks and insurance companies.
Thus, with all the benefits that banks and insurance companies gain through Bancassurance activities, the cooperation of Bancassurance is inevitable, mutually beneficial. At the same time, it is also in accordance with the law, world trends, not only
not only benefits banks and insurance companies, but also brings great benefits to the economy, customers, bank employees, etc.
Competitive relationship
Banking and insurance activities are closely related, some banking products are similar to some insurance company products. Therefore, if an effective cooperation plan between banks and insurance companies is not established, disputes over interests may arise and the cooperative relationship between the parties may be broken.
The brand of a commercial bank goes hand in hand with the brand of an insurance company. Therefore, if there are fluctuations in the market such as: the insurance company is inefficient, fraudulent, customers are dissatisfied, the insurance company has to pay insurance money in a major accident... it will definitely affect the psychology of customers and the trust of customers in the brand of the bank or the bank has liquidity problems... it will also affect the brand of the insurance company.
If insurance companies do not have a reasonable plan to contact bank customers or the insurance company's staff is unprofessional, communicates awkwardly with customers... it will affect the reputation, brand, and operational efficiency of the bank. In the process of contacting customers, if bank employees do not have the skills and knowledge about insurance products to suggest and advise properly to arouse customers' potential insurance needs, then insurance company employees will not have the opportunity to contact customers and provide insurance products to customers.
Currently, it can be said that the bank's distribution network is widespread, however, the space of transaction offices is still very limited, arranging a position for insurance company employees to directly contact customers right at the bank is difficult, at the same time, due to the confidential nature of the bank's operations, sometimes having insurance company employees directly at the bank is also a problem that the bank limits, avoiding competition for customers or disturbing the bank's customers.
The division of commission fees from banks providing products to insurance companies is also the basis for promoting cooperation between the two parties. In addition, the division of commission fees for bank employees is also a driving force to increase insurance consulting and support activities. If this division of benefits is not reasonable, Bancassurance activities will not bring optimal efficiency.
SWOT analysis when banks participate in Bancassurance
Table 1.1 SWOT analysis when banks participate in Bancassurance
Strengths
- The bank has a large number of customers from individuals to businesses, has available information about customers and has had contact with them, so it partly understands the current needs of customers.
- Wide distribution system reaching to rural areas so it can provide insurance products from urban to rural areas.
- With available facilities, linking with an insurance company to provide insurance is less costly, and the bank's existing technological processes can be used to serve customers more quickly and accurately...
- Bank staff have a more professional style than regular insurance agents and brokers in remote areas, creating trust.
Opportunities
- After joining the WTO, Vietnamese law allows banks to combine with insurance companies to conduct insurance business or be licensed to conduct insurance business (Law on Credit Institutions 2010). Therefore, this is the legal basis for banks to participate in Bancassurance and develop Bancassurance.
- Legal regulations on compulsory life insurance, improved living standards, increasing demand for banking, and large population are advantages for banks to increase revenue.
- Cooperating with international insurance companies is an opportunity for banks to enhance their brand and reach out to the world. Insurance companies have a large number of customers, banks can take advantage of this to gain more customers.
customers' trust. On the other hand, the bank's existing brand also makes customers trust using insurance more than the introduction of insurance contract sellers (not insurance employees).
professional).
new. | |
Weaknesses - Bank staff have not been professionally trained in insurance, so their ability to orient customers' insurance needs is limited. - Banks provide products to customers selectively, so the bank's customer segment is also limited, there are customers who need insurance (including compulsory insurance) but do not need to use banking services (especially in rural areas). Thus, this market segment can be ignored, and banks cannot reach this customer segment to introduce and provide insurance products. - The bank's distribution network is extensive, however, due to the number of transaction office, bank branch | Threats - Vietnam's legal framework is not stable, so the issue of changing legal regulations is a matter of concern for all industries, especially Bancassurance, a new service model in Vietnam. - For insurance companies with strong influence and products similar to those of banks, the possibility of encroachment is something banks need to pay attention to. - Traditional insurance product distribution channels have existed for a long time and penetrated every region, reaching every customer segment. Insurance product sales channels via the internet, online insurance, using high technology are also being applied by insurance companies. Therefore, although the banking channel has many advantages, so, but also under competitive pressure |

Along with the technological development of the entire system, BIDV Tien Giang has a payment system with a fairly stable transaction processing speed, bringing many conveniences to customers. The results of observing chart 2.3 show that the income from payment services that the Branch has achieved has grown over the years but the speed is not high and the products are not outstanding compared to other banks.

Specifically, in the period 2011-2013, net income increased and increased most sharply in 2013, then in the period 2013-2015, there was a downward trend. This fluctuation is due to the fact that fees collected from treasury services are often very low and can even be waived to attract customers to use other services.

BIDV Tien Giang, thanks to the advantages of the province and the favorable location of the Branch, has continuously focused on developing income from guarantee services and trade finance.

big picture because there are still certain limitations.
- The insurance company is introduced by the bank, once the insurance company has inadequate compensation when the insurance event occurs, it can reduce the reputation of the bank, even lose customers. During the cooperation process, the brand, political and social security conditions in the countries of the two partners will affect each other, so the risk sharing principle also applies to the bank in this case.
1.3. Basic theory of insurance and Bancassurance
1.3.1. Life and non-life insurance
1.3.1.1. Life insurance
Life insurance is a type of insurance that covers risks related to human life. Life insurance contracts are usually medium and long term. Although risks related to human life are not fixed but change over time and the insured, life insurance is always reimbursed according to the lump sum principle.
1.3.1.2. Non-life insurance
Non-life insurance is a type of insurance that covers risks independent of human life span. Non-life insurance contracts are usually short-term (1 year or less). There are many types of non-life insurance such as: property insurance, liability insurance, accident insurance, health insurance, etc.
1.3.2. Bancassurance and its formation process
1.3.2.1. Definition of Bancassurance
“Bancassurance is a strategy used by banks or insurance companies to operate in the financial market in a way that consolidates services to some extent”.
“Bancassuance is the cooperation between banks and insurance companies to develop and distribute banking and insurance products efficiently by offering products to the same customer base”.
“Bancassurance is the provision of insurance and banking products through a common distribution channel and/or to the same customer base”.
In general, Bancassurance can be understood in the simplest way as the participation of banks in providing insurance products to their customers. The participation of banks can be at different levels depending on the form of Bancassurance.
1.3.2.2. Bancassurance for life insurance or non-life insurance
In the early 1970s, when Bancassurance first appeared in Eastern European countries, Bancassurance was only for life insurance. As Bancassurance gradually developed and expanded, Bancassurance was no longer only for life insurance but also for non-life insurance.
The development of Bancassurance of life insurance and non-life insurance contributes to diversifying the products of banks. The combination of Bancassurance of life insurance and non-life insurance at banks is shown through the following example, when a person borrows money from a bank to buy an asset (for example, buying a car), the bank can require that person to buy insurance for the asset to ensure the ability to repay the debt (partially or completely) in case of risks to the asset (for example, buying a car is the risk of fire, accident, theft, etc.). This is a combination of banking and non-life insurance. The bank can require the borrower to

when the debt is paid off. This is a combination of banking and life insurance.
However, non-life insurance products do not have outstanding features for Bancassurance activities. Meanwhile, banking products and life insurance can complement each other because both aim to serve the accumulation and management of customers' assets. Therefore, life insurance products are easier to sell through banks than non-life insurance products. Moreover, because life insurance contracts are long-term contracts, it requires customers' trust in the organization providing this service. Banks are often highly trusted by customers, so they can sell life insurance products easily. At the same time, selling life insurance products requires a clear understanding of customers' financial status and requirements, while selling most non-life insurance products does not require this understanding. In addition, banks often have less advantages in selling non-life products compared to other distribution channels. For example, in auto insurance, banks have little advantage over auto dealerships. This explains why life insurance bancassurance has grown much more strongly than non-life insurance bancassurance.
1.3.2.3. History of formation and development of Bancassurance services in some countries
in the world
Spain and France are the two leading countries in the field of Bancassurance. In the early 1970s. The idea of banks was to bypass the need for loan insurance brokers and to insure their own customers. They became the pioneers in this field and 15 years later became Bancassurance. Today, in Spain there are 5 leading Bancassurance companies: Vida Caixa, BBVA, SHC Seguros, Aseval, Mapfre Vida controlling 1/3 of the market.
1971, in France: Crédit Lyonnais acquired the Médicale de France Group and in 1993 signed an agreement Union des Assurance Fédérales Group, the sole source for selling life insurance through the Crédit Lyonnais network.
In 1989, AG – the leading insurance company in Belgium and Générales de Banque founded the Alpha life insurance company. In 1990, the large Dutch insurance company Amev NA and VSB, signed a business cooperation contract with a Dutch bank. In the same year, they entered into the first cross-organization cooperation, which resulted in the Fortis group. “Fortis was founded in 1990 as a result of the merger between the Dutch insurance group NV Amev, the Belgian insurance company AG Group and the Dutch bank VSB”.
In the US: the milestone of Bancassurance development was the merger of Travelers Group Insurance Company and Citicorp Bank in 1998. However, in 2000, when the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (Financial Modernization Act) came into effect, Bancassurance really developed. The popular distribution channel in the US is to establish or acquire insurance agents or brokers. In 1999, when the law prohibiting the sale of insurance through banks was lifted, each year about 50 insurance agents were acquired by banks. Another strategy of banking-insurance activities is to build separate distribution channels, looking for customers who do not or rarely buy insurance even though they still have bank accounts.
In Asia: Bancassurance only really started to attract Korean banks in 2003 after receiving permission from the Government. In 2004, Fortis Group signed a contract in Thailand with Muang Thai Group for the sale of life and non-life insurance products (Fortis holds 25% of Muang Thai Life Insurance)…
1.3.3. The necessity of Bancassurance
As analyzed in the introduction, in recent years, the level of competition in the banking sector has become increasingly fierce, especially in difficult economic times like recent years, high interest rates, strong exchange rate fluctuations, credit activities - the traditional activities of banks become more difficult than ever. With the current trend of banks is to enter the insurance sector - an activity with much potential for development. The solution of banks today is to act as insurance agents for insurance companies, design insurance products that go along with products and services.
