Trade Credit Insurance for Exporting

Expand your export operations with the protection of trade credit insurance.

How does trade credit insurance support exporting?

Trade Credit Insurance from Allianz Trade provides insight to assess the creditworthiness of both new and existing customers. Their dedicated credit analyst teams monitor over 83 million companies across 160 countries.

Importantly, Trade Credit Insurance supports export with secure trading limits for both international and domestic buyers, covering all transactions up to the specified limit due within a 12-month period.

In the event of non-payment, whether due to insolvency, refusal, inability to adhere to contract terms, or unforeseen political incidents, a Trade Credit Insurance policy can compensate for incurred losses.

Understanding export credit risk

Securing flexible credit terms can be a decisive factor for international customers, so it’s essential you understand your credit risk when venturing into new markets abroad.
