Hall of fame protection
Let’s hear from Peyton Manning on the importance of Credit & Political Risk Insurance.
Credit Insurance provides protection against the payment default of private- and public-sector buyers and borrowers on domestic and cross-border transactions involving the sale or financing of goods and services, mobile assets (i.e., shipping and aircraft), working capital and infrastructure projects, among others. Debt instruments such as loans, sales/supply contracts and letters of credit are eligible for coverage. Policies may be structured to cover one-off transactions or on a portfolio basis.

Trade Credit Insurance provides protection against buyer non-payment. If you’re a business selling products or services on credit terms or if you’re a financial institution financing such sales, the risk of non-payment by your buyer or borrower always exists. Policies may be structured to cover one-off transactions or on a portfolio basis covering multiple obligors.
