UK : Barclays to diversify its life insurance offerings
Sponsor

The British bank, Barclays, has decided to take advantage of recent changes in the legislation governing bancassurance, to sign life insurance distribution agreements with several major insurance companies, thereby putting an end to the current exclusive distribution agreement with the insurer Legal & General.

Barclays intends to offer shortly to its customers a range of life insurance and pension products from Axa, Friends Provident, Legal & General, Norwich Union, Prudential and Standard Life.
