ON
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT FOR BANKS CONDUCTING MARKETING COOPERATION ACTIVITIES WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES (BANCASSURANCE)
In view of the increasing public demand for insurance products, accompanied by an increase in the marketing of insurance products through marketing cooperation activities between insurance companies and Banks (bancassurance), and considering the developments that have occurred, further regulations regarding bancassurance are required. This regulation is necessary because, in addition to providing benefits, bancassurance activities also have the potential to generate various Risks for Banks, particularly Legal Risk and Reputational Risk.
Therefore, in order to support the development of the financial market, enhance the implementation of Risk Management by Banks, protect the interests of Bank customers, and in accordance with regulations governing matters related to the marketing of insurance products through cooperation with Banks (bancassurance), as well as as an implementation of Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 18/POJK.03/2016 concerning the Implementation of Risk Management for Commercial Banks (State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia Year 2016 Number 53, Supplement to the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5861) and regulations governing the implementation of risk management for Sharia commercial banks and Sharia business units, it is deemed necessary to regulate provisions regarding the Implementation of Risk Management for Banks Conducting Marketing Cooperation Activities with Insurance Companies (Bancassurance) in a Financial Services Authority Circular Letter as follows:
I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
What is meant by marketing cooperation activities between Banks and insurance companies, hereinafter referred to as bancassurance in this Financial Services Authority Circular Letter, is cooperation activities between Banks and insurance companies in order to market insurance products through Banks.
Bancassurance activities are classified into 3 (three) business models as follows:
a. Reference
Reference is a marketing cooperation activity for insurance products, with the Bank playing a role only in referring or recommending an insurance product to customers. The Bank's role in marketing is limited to acting as an intermediary in forwarding information about insurance products from the Bank's partner insurance company to customers or providing access to the insurance company to offer insurance products to customers. Reference activities can be distinguished as follows:
Reference in the Context of Bank Products
The Bank refers or recommends insurance products that are requirements to obtain a banking product to customers. The requirement for the existence of such insurance products is intended for the benefit and protection of the Bank regarding Risks related to products issued or services provided by the Bank to customers. In this case, in essence, the insurance product also serves to protect the debtor as the insured party, even though the policy includes a banker’s clause because the Bank is the beneficiary. Examples of Bank products that require the existence of insurance are:
a) Home ownership loans or financing accompanied by mandatory fire insurance for the house or building financed by the Bank, as well as life insurance for the borrowing customers (debtors). b) Motor vehicle loans or financing accompanied by mandatory property insurance for the motor vehicles financed by the Bank. c) Loans or financing to employees or pensioners accompanied by mandatory life insurance for the borrowing customers (debtors).
Reference Not in the Context of Bank Products
The Bank refers to insurance products that are not requirements to obtain a banking product to customers. Bancassurance activities with this model can be conducted through:
a) Forwarding brochures, leaflets, and/or similar items by the Bank containing offers, information, and/or explanations from the Bank's partner insurance company regarding an insurance product to Bank customers, both face-to-face and through letters and electronic media, including using the Bank's website. In the event that customers require further information or intend to purchase insurance products referred to through such marketing, the Bank must direct customers to the Bank's partner insurance company. b) Providing space by the Bank within the Bank's office premises that can be used by the Bank's partner insurance company in marketing insurance products (in-branch sales) to customers. c) Providing customer data by the Bank that can be used by the Bank's partner insurance company in marketing insurance products, while adhering to the provisions and principles of implementing Risk Management in the context of Bancassurance regarding the use of customer data.
b. Distribution Cooperation
Distribution cooperation is a marketing cooperation activity for insurance products, where the Bank plays a role in marketing insurance products by providing explanations regarding insurance products directly to customers. Explanations from the Bank can be conducted face-to-face with customers and/or by using communication media (telemarketing), including through letters, electronic media, and the Bank's website. The Bank's role is not only as an intermediary in forwarding information about insurance products from the Bank's partner insurance company to customers, but the Bank also provides direct explanations related to the insurance products, such as characteristics, benefits, and Risks of the marketed products, as well as forwarding customer interest or purchase requests for insurance products to the Bank's partner insurance company.
c. Product Integration
Product integration is a marketing cooperation activity for insurance products, where the Bank plays a role in marketing insurance products to customers by modifying and/or combining insurance products and Bank products. Bancassurance activities with this model are conducted by Banks by offering or selling bundled products to customers through face-to-face interactions and/or by using communication media (telemarketing), including through letters, electronic media, and the Bank's website. Thus, the Bank's role is not only to forward and provide explanations related to insurance products to customers, but also to follow up on customer applications for bundled products, including those related to insurance products, with the Bank's partner insurance company.
Banks conducting bancassurance must comply with relevant provisions in the banking and insurance sectors, including banking regulations related to risk management, bank secrecy, product information transparency, and insurance regulations, particularly those related to bancassurance.
In conducting bancassurance, Banks are not permitted to assume or share Risks arising from the insurance products offered. All Risks from insurance products become the responsibility of the partner insurance company.
In conducting bancassurance, Sharia Commercial Banks and Sharia Business Units may only cooperate with Sharia insurance companies.
Banks conducting bancassurance are only permitted to market insurance products stated in the cooperation agreement between the Bank and the partner insurance company.
Insurance products stated in the cooperation agreement are products that have been registered and obtained approval for marketing through bancassurance from the Financial Services Authority.
II. IMPLEMENTATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF BANCASSURANCE
A. General
Banks conducting bancassurance implement Risk Management in accordance with Financial Services Authority Regulations regarding the Implementation of Risk Management for Commercial Banks, regulations governing the implementation of risk management for Sharia commercial banks and Sharia business units, and this Financial Services Authority Circular Letter, considering that Banks face various Risks inherent in such activities, particularly Legal Risk and Reputational Risk.

a. Bundled products marketed must be separable into the product portion that is the Bank's Risk and the portion that is the Risk of the Bank's partner insurance company so that the Risks of each can be identified, measured, monitored, and controlled. b. Banks are only permitted to integrate products related to insurance products that are protective or coverage in nature.
c. In the event marketing is conducted using communication
media such as through mail, electronic media, and the Bank's website, communication media are only used as an initial introduction medium regarding bundled products and the subsequent process must be conducted face-to-face with the customer for further explanation. d. Banks explain to customers orally and in writing regarding the product portion that is the Bank's Risk and the portion that is the risk of the Bank's partner insurance company, the rights and obligations of the Bank, the rights and obligations of the partner insurance company, as well as the rights and obligations of the customer. e. Every customer must receive proof of membership in the event the customer is included in collective insurance products as referred to in item II.B.4.c. f. Banks form a special bancassurance work unit with tasks to conduct development, marketing, and management of bundled products. In the event Banks conduct bancassurance with reference business models and/or distribution cooperation, this work unit also handles bancassurance in the form of reference business models and/or distribution cooperation. g. Officials and/or employees who are part of the special bancassurance work unit must meet qualifications including:
