Insurance Activities

This “Insurance Activities” handbook booklet provides information for bankers and national bank examiners on the risks, controls and supervision of national banks’ insurance activities by the OCC. This booklet provides examiners guidance on performing appropriate assessments of risks to national banks from insurance activities, including a process that may be used in planning and conducting risk assessments.1 Because of the complexity and importance of the legal requirements associated with insurance activities, this handbook also contains considerable legal guidance.
