TopBackground
Financial services are provided by banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, finance companies, stock brokers, and investment funds. The financial services industry is relatively new, but certain parts of it, such as insurance coverage and banking services, go a long way in history. Insurances have arisen from the need to protect people and their assets against various unpredictable events such as accidents, illnesses and natural disasters. Ever since ancient times, people have been trying to find solutions to these problems (Dutta et al., 2019; Rizvi, 2013; Shi & Frees, 2010; Chen et al., 2018; Chang, 2018).
Zeyneloglu (2018) says that there is a strong link between consumer and financial insurer, trust and professionalism. Insurance companies have the opportunity to form natural and lasting relationships with consumers.
