A bank shall establish a mechanism to check whether there is consistency between the customer and the financial information the customer provides when purchasing an insurance product with a loan from the bank, a time deposit canceled early without penalty or a policy loan. 3. To meet practical business needs, a broker/agent company may apply to operate reinsurance brokerage business only or operate simultaneously insurance and reinsurance brokerage business. 4.
