Credit Insurance Solutions for Banks & Financial Institutions

Build stronger, safer customer relationships

Credit insurance can be an important strategic tool for banks. When doing business with companies with credit insurance coverage, banks can be more comfortable lending against those clients’ accounts receivables.

This, in turn, creates more opportunities for banks to lend more money to more clients while still managing their own risks effectively.

By partnering with Allianz Trade, banks can:
 

  • Increase the amount of eligible assets against which their client base can borrow by including international receivables, aged receivables and concentrations
  • Become the beneficiary of clients’ policies in the event of any losses to bad debt on receivables
  • Strengthen clients’ financial position by ensuring cash flow and balance sheet stability
  • Establish a deeper relationship with clients by developing consultative business relationships rather than simply being a lender
  • Justify better advance rates and less restrictive covenants with credit underwriters

The strength is in the details:

Trade credit insurance is unique in its ability to conform to the specific needs of each business.

Some companies want to cover the entire base of their accounts receivable, while others prefer to focus coverage only on certain customer segments. No matter what approach they take, these covered companies represent a lower risk to any bank lending money against the insured receivables.
