The Atradius Credit Specialties Unit provides tailored solutions outside the framework of our whole turnover credit insurance policies. This covers trade, trade financings and political risks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Credit Specialties Unit provides the best of both worlds for our policyholders. Your business is able to benefit from the expertise and data intelligence of a world leading credit insurer as well as the enhanced flexibility and innovation of the political risk market  products.

Our policy wordings are tailored to meet the needs of individual risks and to respond to the evolving economic and geopolitical environment. They address the increasing demand for non-cancellable credit limits, single situations and structured trade financings across the globe.

We work closely with our policyholders and their brokers to ensure that our solutions work effectively with their in-house risk analysis and credit management capabilities.

Making a difference with a Single Situation cover

When you have specifically large contracts or business relationships with key counterparts, you may need a specific safety net including some of the following covers:

Protecting against the risk of non-delivery of pre-paid goods

Paying up front for any goods will include an element of risk, one that may be unavoidable in certain jurisdictions or situations. To help protect you against this specific risk we have developed a range of advance payment cover and pre-export finance cover.

Covering the Unfair Calling of Bonds

There may be situations where your bond is at risk. This can include a customer who makes an unfair call or a political situation outside of your control. Our Credit Specialties are designed to insure you against such eventualities.
