Trade Credit Insurance
Trade credit insurance protects your account receivables, enabling you to trade, expand domestically and abroad without the risk of bad debt.
Protect Your Business Credit
Our Trade Credit Insurance enables you to offer B2B credit terms with confidence by insuring your trade receivables due within 12 months.
When a customer is unable to pay within the contracted terms (a protracted default), a trade credit insurance policy indemnifies a proportion (up to 95%) of the debt owed.
Trade Credit Insurance also informs your credit risk decisions through powerful insight on who to extend credit to and what limits to offer.

Benefits of Trade Credit Insurance
How Much Does Trade Credit Insurance Cost ?
How your premium is determined:
- Your B2B turnover
- The countries where you operate
- The type of customers you deal with
- Your payment terms
- The desired coverage percentage
In many cases, the premium for credit insurance is less than 0.5% of turnover. Compare this to the average number of write-offs on your receivables, and you'll see that the investment is quickly recouped.
Credit insurance comes in various types and sizes, which also determine the price. For some credit insurances, you set a fixed price per turnover class. For most common policies, we calculate the premium as a percentage of your turnover.

Please get in touch with us to discuss what would be most suitable for you.
I work in a small business. Do I need trade credit insurance services?
Our insurance is designed for businesses with sales of at least $5million per year, but companies with sales of as little as $1million sometimes find our services to be a good fit, depending on the situation. If your sales are lower than this, our insurance may not be the most suitable product for you. We suggest you speak to your insurance broker or business bank manager who will be able to point to other ways you can protect your business.
I've been dealing with the same buyers for years. Do I really need to worry?
Many businesses trade with long standing customers that seem well funded. They believe payment can be relied on. However, even the strongest commercial concerns can be affected by the economic cycle and commercial trends.
One Allianz Trade customer, EDPA, experienced this scenario when one of their oldest customers filed for bankruptcy and disputed EDPA's receivables. Read the EDPA case study for details.
"The Allianz Trade team made us feel so comfortable about the situation and confident that it would get resolved. When you are facing an enormous financial loss, having someone knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive in your corner can make all the difference. We are very, very happy with the service we received."
– Alp Benadrete, Managing Partner in Charge of the Home Textile Division for EDPA
It takes considerable investment in data collection to keep track of customers’ financial health and to evaluate the risk of non-payment. We make that investment so you don’t have to and we make the analysis available to you. Insurance backed by insight allows you to trade with peace of mind through all phases of the cycle – today and tomorrow.
I have some long-term deals (more than a year) in progress. Can I cover them?
Yes, we have experience in supporting longer term transactions (for example, multi-year contracts). Get in touch with us and let us know what you need. We’ll be pleased to make recommendations.
Will trade credit insurance help me if political events affect payments?
Yes. Exporters concerned about political events can also benefit from coverage for non-payment as a direct result of events in the buyer’s country. Typical situations in which international credit insurance companies can help include war or cancellation of a contract by the local government. Another example is when a government imposes rules that stop goods from being exported or imported or when regulations prevent hard currency transfers.
