It enables your business to benefit from our expertise and data intelligence as a world leading credit insurer, as well as the enhanced flexibility and innovation of our political risk market products. Our Special Products policy wording is 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 an insurance safety net to provide some of the following cover:
- Straight Non-Payment cover for:
- Single large contracts with short term revolving credit terms
- Largest buyers, providing high risk concentration
- Top-up complement to your multi-buyers credit insurance
- Contract Frustration cover for multi-year projects covering:
- Pre-shipment
- Non-payment risks including the non-honouring of Letters of Credit
Protecting against Whole Turnover Excess of Loss cover
You may have strong credit management but still need to protect your entire turnover against an unforeseeable catastrophic event. When designing cover for such eventualities we can help with:
- Significant self-retained excess layers
- Discretionary credit limits
- Non-cancellable limits
Providing additional trade finance support
We protect the various ways financial institutions support trade, including:
- Receivables purchase facilities
- Reserve base lending
- Borrowing base financing
- Warehouse finance
- Buyer credit
- Leasing
- Non-honouring of Letters of Credit, Standby Letters of Credit and Import Letters of Credit
- Structured financing
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 Special Products are designed to insure you against such eventualities.
