Collision Course

Article Abstract:

State banks and savings and loan associations have been operating insurance agencies for over eighty years to generate non-interest income. National bankers are pushing to do the same thing based on the success of the small banks. Taking advantage of legislation enacted in 1918, small bank holding companies are active in insurance in small towns. The dual banking system is a key issue, with large bank holding companies taking advantage of the dual system in some states. Savings and loan associations have been dealing in insurance business since 1971; credit unions entered insurance in 1982, leaving banks as the only major institution unable to legally enter the property casualty insurance business. Joint venture is one possible avenue insurance companies have available to them to offset competition if deregulation comes to pass. Strong offensive and defensive strategies are needed by the industry; willing cooperation to maintain profitably should not be overlooked.
