For most of us, your bank is where we go to save, borrow, make payments and manage our everyday finances. But the relationship with a bank can also extend to other areas of financial planning, including how we protect the things we have worked hard to build. One of these areas is insurance.
Insurance helps us prepare for financial losses that can arise from unexpected events. Whether it is an accident, illness, damage to property or loss of an asset, having the right cover can reduce the financial burden when something goes wrong. You just need to understand the risks you face and choose protection that fits your circumstances.

Bancassurance brings these two areas together. It is a model where insurance products are made available to customers through a bank. Instead of viewing banking and insurance as completely separate parts of their financial lives, customers can explore insurance solutions through a channel they already use and are familiar with.
In Kenya, Family Bank Bancassurance Intermediary provides customers with access to a range of insurance solutions. These span different areas of life and financial protection, including motor, home, personal accident, medical, life and education insurance, as well as livestock and marine insurance.
The idea is not that everyone needs all these covers, but that different people have different risks and therefore different protection needs.
For example, a person with a car may have different insurance needs from someone protecting their home, planning for their child’s education or running a business that involves transporting goods.
The right insurance therefore starts with understanding what you own, what you depend on and what could create a significant financial setback if something unexpected happened.
Knowing what insurance options are available can make it easier to have the right conversations and choose the right provider when deciding how best to protect what matters to you.
