The banking services in China are regulated by evolving factors that are often unpredictable, facing serious risks. Many customers fail to read terms and conditions and save contract copies, leading to abuses. Application of Akim's model can increase user numbers and welfare analysis can guide insurance pricing to make it appealing. The existence of adverse selection in insurance selling by banks is detected, with estimated welfare costs quantitatively small. Further welfare assessment under policy interventions will be important for future studies.
