Bancassurance, long a traditional sales-led model, is undergoing a transformative evolution. In 2025, it is shifting from simple product distribution towards a digitally driven, customer-centric approach focused on personalised wellness and proactive health engagement. This transformation is significantly altering the collaboration between banks and insurers, integrating insurance seamlessly into daily financial decisions, according to dacadoo.
The global bancassurance market is poised to reach a massive $2.44tn by 2033, according to IMARC Group, growing at a CAGR of 5.23% from 2025. This forecast reflects more than just market expansion—it highlights a shift in financial service delivery.
Accenture’s 2025 banking trend report underscores the rising role of AI in enhancing personalisation. The firm anticipates banks delivering “hyper-personalised banking experiences, anticipating customer needs” by 2030. In parallel, Research and Markets data shows increasing importance placed on digital health tools within bancassurance, positioning them as a core element for engaging customers and promoting preventative well-being.
This evolution shows how the sector is being rebuilt on foundations of technological innovation, hyper-personalisation, and wellness-first thinking.
Embedded insurance becomes the norm
Embedded insurance is no longer a niche—it’s fast becoming standard practice. Rather than waiting for customers to seek insurance products, banks now offer them as seamless add-ons to existing services.
Whether it’s adding credit protection to a loan or integrating health incentives into personal finance tools, insurance is now naturally embedded into digital banking journeys.
This approach reduces friction, enhances accessibility, and shifts the narrative from reactive coverage to proactive risk prevention. Customers receive relevant offerings at the right time, aligned with their lifestyle and health goals.
dacadoo’s DHEP leading the shift
At the heart of this transformation is dacadoo’s Digital Health Engagement Platform (DHEP), which empowers banks and insurers to offer preventative, health-linked insurance solutions.
It includes features such as the scientifically validated Health Score, personalised coaching, and gamification—all designed to encourage healthier behaviour and reduce long-term healthcare costs. A University of Groningen study confirmed a 5% cost reduction among regular users.
Advancing engagement with Generation 5 tools
dacadoo’s latest DHEP enhancements build even deeper connections between users and their financial institutions.
The new Discover Page acts as a custom content hub, showcasing wellness products and services. My Health Score Potential helps users visualise future health improvements, while the soon-to-be-launched Agentic AI Coach will provide real-time, personalised health advice.
These features allow banks to elevate the customer relationship from transactional to transformational, with insurance embedded as a daily wellness companion.
Real-world success and integrated health-finance journeys
One global bank’s experience with dacadoo exemplifies this impact. By embedding dacadoo’s platform into its mobile banking app,
it enabled customers to manage their health and wealth in one place. Through gamification and cash rewards, users engaged more frequently, while insurance uptake rose significantly.
This integration also contributed to lower mortality rates among users—showcasing the dual benefit of improving health outcomes and strengthening financial engagement.
AI-driven insights for smarter underwriting
dacadoo also delivers AI-powered insights that support more dynamic, personalised underwriting. By analysing user health data—compliant with strict standards including GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO frameworks—insurers can offer fairer, behaviour-based premiums. This allows for risk assessments that reflect real-time lifestyle changes, creating a responsive and equitable insurance model.
A new era for bancassurance
The future of bancassurance is not just digital—it’s customer-led, wellness-focused, and embedded into everyday life. By moving beyond sales and towards proactive engagement, banks and insurers are reshaping financial services.
dacadoo’s DHEP is playing a central role in this shift, enabling a model where financial health and physical wellness coexist in one seamless experience.
