When customers don’t pay their bills, it can quickly become a problem for any business. And the risk is very real: in 2023, company insolvencies will increase by 4% in Switzerland and by 21% worldwide. * In other words, more and more businesses are having trouble paying their bills. And that can be expensive (see our sample calculation).

FAQs
Trade credit insurance from Allianz Trade insures your receivables from supplies of goods, work and services to commercial customers in the event of protracted default or insolvency. On request, your claims can be covered against economic risks almost anywhere in the world. Contractual conditions and indemnity provisions are the same worldwide.
A credit loss can cost much more: to offset a loss of CHF 100'000, for example, a company with an average return on sales would have to generate additional sales of approximately CHF 2.5 million! The most expensive scenario is of course if your company itself is at risk of insolvency due to a large credit loss.
Even with longstanding business relationships, a customer’s credit rating can deteriorate through no fault of their own – sometimes as a result of sudden external events. With our insurance cover, you will find out quickly if there are problems.
Not with trade credit insurance from Allianz Trade: we can already pay if receivables are not paid after a certain time and the debt collection process does not lead to the collection of the insured receivable within the agreed period of time. As a result, your liquidity is protected.
You don’t have to. At Allianz Trade, you can adapt the terms of your trade credit insurance to your needs by selecting the clauses you want. That way, you will only pay for what your company really needs.
