Africa Bancassurance Masterclass, a programme of the West Africa Business Schools, targets to upscale financial inclusion agenda in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
In its third year, the Africa Bancassurance Masterclass is Africa’s top meeting place for bancassurance practitioners. This year’s theme is anchored on Strategy, Marketing and Global Best Practice for Banks and Insurers. The Africa Bancassurance Masterclass is the flagship-training programme of the Africa Bancassurance Academy, established by West Africa Business School to create sustainable competitive advantage for banks and insurers in Africa through capacity building in Bancassurance distribution and channel innovation.
Obasi Ngwuta, director-general/CEO of West Africa Business School, said that Bancassurance continues to develop and remains one of the most exciting and innovative areas in the Banking and Insurance industries across sub-Saharan Africa, and indeed around the world.
In continuation of the high standards set over the years for this continental event, the Africa Bancassurance Masterclass features highly experienced international speakers who will share best practice insight and wisdom, local and regional practitioners participating in daily panel sessions and attendees who will hear from the insurance and bank regulators to get update on regulatory overviews on the conduct and practice of Bancassurance in the continent.
The special guest of honour, Olatokunbo Martins who is the director of banking supervision of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), will declare this year’s event open with a keynote speech.
The Commissioner for Insurance, National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), Mohammed Kari, will also grace the occasion as the Special Guest Speaker. Insurance companies and banks are invited to attend the event.
The Africa Bancassurance Masterclass provides Bancassurance practitioners across Africa with the opportunity to explore key elements of Bancassurance development and management in the region from a global perspective. This continental financial service industry-networking forum presents a significant opportunity for attendees to share knowledge and learn from the very best Bancassurance experts from across the globe.
This 2016 edition of the Africa Bancassurance Masterclass will look at how life and non-life insurance companies can unlock the sales potential within the bank branch network to optimise the full potential of insurance sales opportunities. The programme insights will also provide answers to the questions that are fundamental to success in Bancassurance such as: What is the best Bancassurance model? How do you address the issue of lack of ownership on driving insurance target by bank staff? What’s the best way to sell insurance in the branch? Who supplies the agent, the bank or the insurer? What products are best suited for Bancassurance? All of these will be tackled and much more.
