Opportunities and Challenges

10

US Banks Have Barely Penetrated Their Customer Bancassurance Opportunity


Typical bank has captured some investment business from only 8.1% of its customer households On average, banks have been selling investments for 12.8 years Banks are capturing only 26% of the financial assets of the customers who do invest through them

Key Challenges
Getting buy-in from bank management Encouraging financial consultants and platform reps to sell Consumer awareness and likelihood to buy

11

Likely to Buy?

Not aware 53%

Aware 47%

Would not consider purchasing 46%

Credit Insurance 101


Chris Hause, FSA, MAAA President, Hause Actuarial Solutions, Inc.

Credit Insurance 101


Products Premiums Markets

Credit Insurance Products


Life Disability Unemployment

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 Real-estate secured

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
MOB life, disability and unemployment

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 Some unemployment

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 Unemployment Property

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
