Episode #279: Why Insurance Companies Can Be a Safer Alternative to Banks


 

Do you ever wonder why we hear about banks failing during financial crises but rarely, if ever, do we see a headline about an insurance company failing? It’s because the assets that are in the reserves of the banking system are utilized very differently than the assets within the reserves of an insurance company. Since they function differently, they also have different safety nets and procedures in place that can affect their ability to protect consumers.

In this episode of Money Script Monday, Kevin juxtaposes banks and insurance companies to unveil the operative functions and safeties that contribute to banks being riskier than insurance companies.
