  • Benefits for BANKIT Agents: 


  • Increased Income: Our BANKIT Agents will have access to a new revenue stream by offering insurance services. They can earn commissions on policy sales and renewals, boosting their income significantly. 

  • Enhanced Reputation: Providing insurance services adds a layer of trust to the services offered by BANKIT Agents. This can help strengthen their relationships with existing customers and attract new ones. 

  • Training and Support: We will provide comprehensive training and support to our Agents, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to effectively sell insurance products. 

  • Business Growth: This partnership not only benefits our Agents financially but also opens doors for expanding their businesses. They can attract a broader customer base and become hubs for a wide range of financial services. 


How It Works 


So, how exactly do BANKIT Agents facilitate this insurance revolution? Here's a simple breakdown: 


  • Agent Registration: Local shop owners who wish to become BANKIT Agents can easily register with us. They will undergo training to understand the insurance products and the digital platform. 

  • Customer Interaction: BANKIT Agents engage with their customers and assess their insurance needs. They explain the available insurance options and help customers choose the most suitable policy. 

  • Policy Purchase: Using our digital platform, Agents assist customers in purchasing insurance policies. The entire process is seamless and paperless, making it hassle-free for both parties. 

  • Premium Payments: Customers can conveniently pay their insurance premiums through the same platform used for policy purchase. No need to travel to distant offices or stand in long queues. 

  • Claims Assistance: In case of an unfortunate event, BANKIT Agents guide customers through the claims process, ensuring that they receive the support they need during difficult times. 


Our partnership with LIC and SBI General Insurance is not just a business endeavour; it's a commitment to empowering the underserved and unbanked population in rural India. Through our dedicated BANKIT Agents, we are bringing insurance within reach of millions, offering them financial security and peace of mind. 


If you are a local shop owner in a rural area, this partnership could be your opportunity to make a difference in your community while boosting your income. Join us in this journey towards a financially inclusive India, where everyone has the chance to safeguard their future. 


Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient rural India, one insurance policy at a time.
