Protect against risk

Protecting your international sales against a variety of risks will give you confidence to do business abroad and to take on new customers and new markets. While no one can predict if your foreign customer will refuse delivery, wrongfully call your bond or file for bankruptcy, you can protect your business with our insurance solutions.

I want to check out a new customer

I want to protect all of my international sales 

Covering your full book of export business with our Accounts Receivable Insurance protects your sales against a wide range of risks. We can even insure the receivables of your foreign affiliates.

I’ve got one customer to insure

Whether your business is just starting to grow or you want to work with a new customer, Single Buyer Insurance is an affordable solution to protect your export sales for a 180-day period on shipments or services.

I’ve got one new contract to insure

As your exporting business starts to grow, Contract Frustration Insurance can help you protect a single export contract for services, capital goods or projects from a variety of risks.

I’m concerned about the political situation in a foreign market

Many exciting opportunities exist in developing markets that can be subject to political upheaval. Through Political Risk Insurance, you can protect your overseas assets such as equipment and manufacturing facilities.

I’m worried my customer will call my bond

Foreign customers may require you to put up a guarantee as an assurance that you’ll deliver goods or services as promised. Sometimes, even when you do deliver, a customer may wrongfully call your guarantee. Depending on the type of guarantee issued, our Performance Security Insurance can protect you from having to pay back the amount of the guarantee if it was called without a valid reason.
