Trade Credit
Dealing with a financial loss is a challenge.
It's more challenging when that loss occurs in an emerging market. No matter what the reason for nonpayment---liquidation, bankruptcy, ongoing defaults, or political risks---it makes it difficult for your company to succeed in international credit risk management, and continue to sell to a broader overseas market.
Zurich can help you get your arms around these credit risks. We specialize in creative trade credit solutions for your company that are customized to the countries where your defaults occur. Our trade credit insurance contains no restrictions on customer nationality which means we can handle your trade risk needs anywhere in the world you are doing business. Zurich's underwriters average more than 10 years of experience in emerging markets, and work with 300 of the world's largest multinationals. So you have the backing of experienced professionals that can pinpoint the trade credit solution you need.
