Note that some of the major banks also propose insurances. Even though they
propose insurances to customers without accounts in their banks, they use the

companies' products, while others propose their own insurances. Bank employees
may well be less knowledgeable about insurance products than insurance companies
and agents.

financial interest in the products they present. They are not Santa Claus.
