SOLUTIONS

Credit insurance

Credit insurance provides a protection for clients against unforeseen credit risk events that could result in accounts receivable losses i.e. bad debts. Companies that sell goods or services on credit terms are highly exposed to the risk of non-payment due to customer insolvency, protracted default and political risks that prevent the buyer from fulfilling its payment obligations. Credit insurance provides a safety net against such black swan events.

In short, credit insurance covers:

Default of buyers due to liquidity issues
Insolvency of buyers

Political risks impacting on buyers’ payment ability

The various types of trade credit insurance solutions include:

Whole turnover (global)
Single buyer
Single risk
Excess of loss
Leasing insurance
Rental insurance

Political risk insurance

This insurance protects your investments, projects, goods and contracts against any unfair political action or inaction by a government that would cause damage, financial loss or business interruption in any of our member countries. It can also cover loss due to war & civil disturbance.

Political Risk Insurance (PRI) cover typically includes the risks listed below with the flexibility to include additional risks as per the needs of our customers.
