Bancassurance

Bancassurance is the term used to describe the sale of insurance products in a bank. The word is a combination of "banc" and "assurance" signifying that both banking and insurance is provided by the same corporate entity. The usage of the word picked up as banks and insurance companies merged and banks sought to provide insurance, especially in markets that have been liberalised recently. It is a controversial idea, and many feel it gives banks too great a control over the financial industry.

In some countries, bancassurance is still largely prohibited, but it was recently legalized in countries such as the United States, when the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed after the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
