Theme - Distribution as the Driver to Maximising Returns in the Crisis

Financial crisis notwithstanding, insurers continue to rely on banks as an important force to distribute their products and grow the business in Asia. The reputation of banks and financial institutions have been severely tarnished in the current financial turmoil. With so many casualties in the financial crisis, can bancassurance weather the global financial storm? What can banks and insurance companies do to boost confidence and regain trust from customers at a time when alleged cases of mis-selling of financial products over the bank counters abound?

Asia Insurance Review proudly marks the 10th Anniversary of its Bancassurance series of Conference, by drawing from the various success stories around the region including in the Middle East. The 10th Conference with the theme “Distribution as the Driver to Maximising Returns in the Crisis” goes back to the basics of how to make Bancassurance work from the very beginning and how to exploit the crisis and to emerge a winner while looking at the critical concerns and challenges in the current bancassurance scene faced by insurers and banks. It will highlight risk management issues as well as the operational, and practical aspects of bancassurance from actual case studies and experiences across the region, relationship management, integration process, efficient distribution means, innovative product portfolios, creative ways of reaching out to different market segments and improving distribution channels.

Aside from drawing from global trends and lessons in bancassurance, internationally as well as in Asia, and looking at challenges facing banks, insurers, regulators and intermediaries, the regional two-day Conference will provide strategic tips on surviving the crisis and building a sustainable and profitable bancassurance business.
