EVALUATING BANK OPPORTUNITIES by Carol Hammes Faced with shrinking profit margins from their traditional products and services, financial institutions have been searching for ways to expand their activities and help cover some of the overhead. Selling insurance as part of a full financial services package seemed to be a logical choice for this expansion. Banks and savings & loans that could legitimately be in the insurance business started out selling Life insurance and annuities, with many of them doing pretty well at it. Some of these 4,000+ banks also tried to tap the Property/Casualty market, frequently with much less success. About 15 years ago, other banks, hungry for diversification ...

Are community banks being left behind as the bank insurance business lurches forward? While nine of every 10 U.S. banks with greater than $10 billion in assets distributed General Lines (Property/Casualty and Life/Health) insurance products during 1999, the ratio for community banks was fewer than four of 10. Why the disparity? To address this question, it's helpful to begin with a broad perspective. THE INSURANCE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM: IN TRANSITION Traditional insurance distribution is creaking and groaning from the increasing pressures it has endured for more than a decade. The sources of these pressures are numerous, and the ultimate result may be dramatic ...

In this document, Val Jordan explains why insurance agencies and carriers looking to increase sales and explore new ways of doing business should consider working with community banks, for several reasons. Community banks have a clear advantage over their larger competitors in forging relationships with their customers that build loyalty and trust. They have the customer information at their fingertips that many of their huge competitors spend time and money seeking through data mining. Second, community banks know not only who their customers are, but also what they need now and will need in the near future. This is vital information when your existence depends on the viability of the services you offer. Third, ...

The answer? Yes, if there's appropriate due diligence, perfect implementation, and the price meets realistic expectations. When these three conditions come together, as so many players seem to expect, banks can make fantastic returns by acquiring P/C agencies. However, the results to date strongly suggest that these conditions rarely — if ever — occur simultaneously. This third in a four-article series will focus on implementing the bank-agency relationship. (Part II here.) PERFECT IMPLEMENTATION The three keys to perfect ...

BANKS AND INSURANCE: DOING IT RIGHT by John Graham When a bank buys an insurance agency it's a marriage made in heaven. At least, it seems that way. On the agency side, principals have the opportunity to cash out at a time when values are declining. For those wanting to remain in the business, a bank offers a needed infusion of capital. Nearing retirement, the principals of one large agency were close to having their backs against a financial wall. Others in the company were either unable to buy their stock or had no interest. Then a bank with plenty of cash rode in and swept the partners off their ...

Since 1998, the banking industry has been the most active acquirer of Property/Casualty insurance agencies. So relevant are these transactions to the development of bank-insurance that, today, most banks selling Commercial insurance do so through an acquired agency. James Campbell examines the issue of whether banks overpay for agencies. Indeed, for banks with $1 billion in assets, more than 70% that sell Commercial insurance use an acquired agency to do so. Along the way, however, banks have developed a dubious reputation as acquirers. Conventional wisdom suggests that banks, inexperienced in the ways of agency acquisitions, have overpaid for agencies ...

POST-DEAL INTEGRATION WITH BANKS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES by Robbie Smith The acquisition of independent insurance agencies by banks has revealed a number of crucial issues that should be considered by anyone contemplating entering into or expanding their existing insurance distribution. The following issues have proven true for banks of all sizes and agencies: The acquisition of an agency is simply the most visible part of a bank's comprehensive insurance strategy. The typical acquisition won't necessarily expand the list of products and services offered to customers. Being acquired by a bank often makes a strong agency stronger and a weak agency weaker. Experience has shown that agencies are likely to continue to operate at a ...
