In macro perspectives, there are three factors contributing to the bancassurance growth, firstly, degree of legislative support for bancassurance by government, secondly, financial environments such as scale of banks and density, pension system, independent financial advisors and existing sales channel, and public pension system, thirdly, consumption behavior in finance market such as bank image, culture of face-to-face business practice, usage of telephone and internet, etc,. In micro perspectives, there are two factors contributing to the bancassurance growth, firstly, selection of integration business model for bancassurance, scondly, simple and standardized bancassurance product for early settlement of bancassurance.

In micro perspective, selection of integration model for bamcassurance is important and it is necessary for insurance company to develop simples and standard product during early settlement of bancassurance, but it is also necessary for insurance company to develop complex product to accommodate respective customers' needs.
