Uncomplicated insurance. Numerous advantages. Simple pricing.

SIMPLICITY offers fixed prices within certain sales classes. In the table below, select the line that corresponds to your annual turnover - you will find the corresponding premium in the right-hand column. It's that simple.

OPTION BASIC: All customers are insured from the start of the contract with the basic cover of 60% of the claim, provided that the customer is not already in default.

OPTION POWER: You can apply the "Power" extended cover to any client in your portfolio to cover 90% of the exposure. You will be asked to check the customer's creditworthiness using our BoniCheck system. The decision is based on the Euler Hermes grading system, which starts at 1 (very low risk) and ends at 10 (insolvent).

Euler Hermes – the clear advantages of us as an insurance partner

The benefits that small companies enjoy when taking out credit insurance from Euler Hermes speak for themselves! Thanks to flat-rate protection of 60% (Basic option), which is granted without any review, only a minimal and very manageable administration fee can be expected in case of a claim. Our premium invoice for your new insurance against losses on receivables is designed to be as simple and comprehensible as we can make it. After all, premiums and insurance conditions should be as transparent as possible and formulated in a manner that is easily understood by laypeople.

With our Simplicity insurance, you can expect to receive compensation even in the event of an extended payment in arrears. With us you do not have to be prepared for unnecessarily long waiting times. We settle and pay claims immediately after the occurrence of the insured event and after the insured loss has been ascertained. In addition, you have at your disposal a total of 100 BoniCheck credit checks per year, which we provide from as little as CHF 200 plus VAT and which you can conveniently access online. In most cases, the query enables the insurance cover to be flexibly increased to 90% (Power option). In addition, you have the option of handing over collection to us. We would be happy to advise you on the corresponding conditions.
