What is Trade Credit Insurance?

Trade credit Insurance (TCI) is sometimes referred to as “accounts receivable insurance,” “debtor insurance,” or “export credit insurance.” It helps businesses protect their capital, stabilize cash flow and sometimes assist in securing better financing terms from banks by establishing confidence in their customers’ ability to repay their accounts.

TCI protects a business against its commercial customers’ inability to pay for products or services—sometimes due to bankruptcy, insolvency, or political upheaval in countries where the trade partner operates. 

The scenarios described herein are offered only as examples. Coverage depends on the actual facts of each case and the terms, conditions and exclusions of each individual policy. Anyone interested in the above product(s) should request a copy of the standard form of policy for a description of the scope and limitations of coverage.
