The top 25 bank-owned insurance agencies reported earnings margins last year 11% higher than the average of all bank agencies, according to a new report.

The average bank agency in 2009 had an earnings margin before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of 19.6%, compared to 30.6% for the top 25 bank agencies, according to the report on third-quarter bank insurance agency results by the American Bankers Insurance Association, Washington, and Marsh, Berry & Company Inc., Willoughby, Ohio.
