Credit risk insurance is a risk mitigation tool that protects against payment default risks. The product replaces expensive collateral such as Letters of Credit that banks often require to secure a loan or a line of credit. ATIDI’s solution allows companies the freedom to offer better payment terms to their clients, to increase their cash flow and to be internationally competitive by operating on credit terms.
The following sub-products that are offered:
- Lenders all risk – insures bank facilities including: loans (also bank-to-bank), letters of credit (LCs), invoice discounting and factoring, bonds and bank guarantees provided by a bank to SME / corporate clients or to another bank.
- Bank master policy – covers a portfolio of small sized bank facilities including: loans, letters of credit (LCs), invoice discounting and bonds provided by a bank to corporate clients.
- Single obligor (SO) – insures the risk of default by one specific buyer, often restricted on one specific transaction. Occasionally, this policy is also used to insure a selected number of buyers.
- Whole turnover (WTO) – insures sales made by a corporate (in exceptional cases also a bank) to a portfolio of clients against losses arising from credit risks. Since a portfolio of clients is insured several parties are involved (one supplier and multiple buyers) and several transact.
For lenders, ATIDI offers protection against borrowers on default loans and other lending facilities, and it also includes political risk cover for cross-border transactions.
