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.

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.
