Export Trade Credit Insurance

Understanding export credit risk

Accessing flexible credit terms can be a deal-breaker for international customers, so it’s essential you understand the credit risk when embarking on trade within new foreign markets.

Due diligence includes understanding a customer’s trading history and financial stability, and should be done before you negotiate a contract.

Insuring export credit risk

Our Export Trade Credit Insurance gives you the insight you need to understand new and existing customers’ credit worthiness, with our credit analyst teams monitoring some 83 million companies in 160 countries.

Crucially, Export Trade Credit Insurance gives you safe trading limits for your international and domestic buyers, insuring all transactions up to that limit due within a 12 month period.

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, or for example due to an unforeseen political incident, a Trade Credit Insurance policy indemnifies your losses.
