Protection against bad debt, all over the world
Our International Trade Credit team has a wealth of experience in supporting multi-national organisations with their credit risk requirements.
We work across the spectrum of global corporates and financial Institutions to protect against non-payment events and bad debt.
Our international trade credit offering consists of many products and structures, including:
- multi-buyer whole turnover programmes
- selective portfolios
- single / key risk coverage
- excess-of-loss
- top-up solutions designed to enhance the level of coverage offered by your primary insurer(s).
Our International Trade Credit team is made up of highly experienced former commercial directors and risk officers. Their innate understanding of the challenges exporters face means they can tailor solutions to precisely meet to your needs.
We work on a consultative basis to design programmes that insulate your business from the effects of your customer’s cash flow problems.
In turn, this will help you take on international opportunities with confidence.
