Trade Credit Insurance 

Trade credit insurance protects your account receivables enabling you to trade, expand domestically and abroad without the risk of bad debt.

What is Trade Credit Insurance?

Our Trade Credit Insurance enables you to offer B2B credit terms with confidence by insuring your trade receivables due within 12 months.

So if a customer fails to pay, whether it’s due to insolvency, refusal or an inability to pay under the terms of the contract, a Trade Credit Insurance policy indemnifies your losses.

Trade Credit Insurance also informs your credit risk decisions through powerful insight on who to extend credit to and what limits to offer.

We analyse the creditworthiness and financial stability of your customers.
Each of your customer has a credit limit – the maximum amount we will indemnify if that customer fails to pay.
You trade with your existing customers as you wish, with the risk covered up to the credit limit.
We keep you informed of adjustments to credit limits as they may be raised or reduced when conditions change.
You check the creditworthiness of potential new customers. We confirm agreement or explain if your request is declined.
If a customer fails to pay, you inform us. We investigate and indemnify you for the insured amount if policy terms have been met.

  • The countries where you operate
  • The type of customers you deal with
  • Your payment terms
  • The desired coverage percentage

In many cases, the premium for credit insurance is less than 0.5% of turnover. Compare this to the average number of write-offs on your receivables, and you'll see that the investment is quickly recouped.


Credit insurance comes in various types and sizes, which also determine the price. For some credit insurances, you set a fixed price per turnover class. For most common policies, we calculate the premium as a percentage of your turnover.
