Overview


AIG provides the security to your company which needs to trade internationally and domestically by insuring your accounts receivables against the risk of customer non-payment arising from insolvency, protracted default and political risks.

Why get Trade Credit Insurance?

By protecting against the risk of customer default, trade credit insurance is a key instrument in your company’s credit risk management. With trade credit insurance, your company is assured of the support on cash flow and liquidity at any time.

Who is it for


Trade Credit Insurance protects open account sales - export and domestic - against non-payment resulting from a customer's legal insolvency, protracted default or political risk.

What is covered


Apart from protecting the insured's primary source of cash and the accounts receivable, our coverage can potentially enable the insured to expand sales in new markets and offer more competitive terms of sale.
