Brazil Bancassurance Market Growth Factors
In the Brazil market, bancassurance is the main growth driver, as integrated bank-owned insurance groups utilize existing bank branch networks and captive insurers to foster cross-selling growth. Bradesco, Itaú Unibanco and Caixa Econômica Federal have built efficient cross-selling platforms based on common client databases. For integrated banks, their insurance revenues benefit from banks having a strong voice in product design, price and claims. They also benefit from lower product rollout times, higher margins (including in life, health and property), fewer underwriting units and mis-sell and persistency issues, and better risk-adjusted returns and capital efficiency. In 2024, Brazilian insurers made record insurance revenues of BRL 207.6 billion, with Life and Property accounting for 67% of revenues, showing strong integration of banking and insurance subsidiaries.
The bancassurance distribution model has been transformed by open finance digitalization and regulation, with banks and insurers using API ecosystems, AI underwriters, and recommendation engines on their mobile and internet banking apps to enable near real-time issuance of term, travel, and microinsurance products. E-underwriting and e-signature flows simplify underwriting. Partnerships with fintechs and digital brokers via super-apps and e-commerce marketplaces allow the company to tap into underbanked or digitally native customers. In 2024, Brazilian reinsurer IRB reported a 226.2% increase in net income to R$372.7 million on the back of operational efficiency, despite natural catastrophes.
Innovative microinsurance products, such as short-duration and low-premium policies with varying payment structures, may enable first time consumers to engage with the market and remain in it. Data analytics can also help with dynamic pricing, optimizing the bundles of riders, and increasing customer conversion and retention. Digital distribution reduces transaction costs, improving bancassurance economics and improving user experience. A dual segmentation strategy on the retail market targets mass market customers with simplified covers while premium retail clients receive multi-product wealth protection bundles built on advisory-led propositions.
