How it works

Until the end of 2021, EDC Select Credit Insurance is available to all Canadian businesses, whether your customer is in Canada or abroad.

You qualify if:

  • All of the goods and services you want to insure are sent directly to your customers, whether they are in Canada or abroad, OR you are involved in the manufacture, design or the research and development of the product being sold (you do not have to do both).
  • You want to insure $500,000 or less per customer
  • Your customer has 180 days or less to pay you
  • You have not yet shipped your goods or provided your service
If these qualifications don't meet your needs, EDC Portfolio Credit Insurance might be right for you. Click here to find out or let us know you’d like to speak with one of our trade advisors to find the best solution for your needs.
  • Your Canadian or international customer doesn’t pay you
  • Your Canadian or international customer declares bankruptcy

If you export:

  • Political issues in your buyer’s country prevent them from paying you
  • There are problems with currency conversion or transferring money out of your buyer’s country
  • Your customer legally ends your contract before you ship
  • You shipped the goods even though your customer had already failed to pay on time
  • Your customer is disputing how much they owe you
  • You changed the contract’s payment terms

If these “not covered” points are something you’d like insurance for, EDC Portfolio Credit Insurance might be right for you. Click here to find out.

  • We have adjusted this solution to meet the pandemic-related needs of Canadian businesses.
  • We are prepared to take on greater risk, offering you more support for more sales.
  • EDC Select Credit Insurance is available to cover sales to Canadian buyers (not just international buyers) until the end of 2021. 
  • If you have EDC Portfolio Credit Insurance already and you have questions or want to make changes to your policy, please call our Customer Care Team weekdays between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET at 1-866-716-7201.
