US Banks Have Barely Penetrated Their
Customer Bancassurance Opportunity
ÀTypical bank has captured some investment business from only 8.1% of its customer
households
ÀOn average, banks have been selling investments for 12.8 years
ÀBanks are capturing only 26% of the financial assets of the customers who do invest through them
Key Challenges
ÀGetting buy-in from
bank management
ÀEncouraging financial
consultants and platform reps to sell
ÀConsumer awareness

Credit Insurance 101
Chris Hause, FSA, MAAA President, Hause Actuarial
Credit Insurance 101
• Products • Premiums • Markets
Credit Insurance Products
• Life
• Disability
Premiums
• Established by state (usually regulation)
– Life – Disability
– Some unemployment
Premium Payments
• Historically single premium, financed with the loan
• Monthly outstanding balance
– Open-end loans – Lines of credit – Credit unions
Markets
• Banks
• Credit Unions • Auto dealers
• Other dealers (furniture, electronics, jewelry)
• Finance companies
Bank Market
• Installment - not secured by real estate
– single premium life and disability
• Installment - secured by real estate
– MOB life and disability
• Business and Home equity loans
– MOB life and disability
• Credit cards
Credit Union Market
• Almost exclusively MOB life and disability • Composite rates for disability
• Experience rated
• Very few insurers in this market, majority is through a single carrier
Auto Dealer Market
• Single premium exclusively, due to loan sales
• Life
• Disability
Finance Company Market
• Single premium historically
• Some carriers have moved to MOB • Life
• Disability
• Some unemployment • Personal Property
Other Dealers
• Primarily single premium on installment sales
• MOB on revolving lines, proprietary credit cards
• Life
• Disability
Gramm-Leach-Bliley
• Enacted in 1999
• Legitimized debt protection products • Exempted from state insurance
department jurisdiction • No rate regulation
• No specified benefits • No licensing
Immediate Effect
• Credit card programs were replaced by debt protection
• New benefits were added • Installment was slower
– Bona fide monthly alternative – Dealer business
• Credit Unions are a natural fit, but tend to be risk-averse
Long Term Effect
• Some markets will probably survive
– Small bank
– Finance company – Small Credit Union – Dealer
• Credit property • GAP
• Creditor-placed coverage
HOEPA and “Predatory Lending”
• Home Owners Equity Protection Act • Enacted in 1994
• If fees (including CL&D) exceed $400
(indexed) or 8% of loan, a “High Cost” loan • Secondary market implications
• “Predatory lending” action is more on the local level
Immediate Effect
• Single premium was stopped • MOB programs were developed
– APR
– Level monthly
– Critical period Disability
• Total written premium took a hit • Closed-end MOB filling the void
