Making a difference with a Single Situation cover

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 Credit Specialties are designed to insure you against such eventualities.
