Account Management
Carrie Hanford
Retention Manager – Central Region | Atradius US
How we work with you
Our business is built on providing the very best level of support for our policy holders.
What you can expect from an Atradius Account Manager?
The responsibility of an Atradius Account Manager is based on mutual trust and respect. We work hard to create a business relationship with you, understand your needs and find ways to help you grow your business. We achieve that by getting to thoroughly know you and your business, including your broker and your market.
As an Account Manager, each of us work with a small number of customers, which gives us the time to build a solid relationship. We are proactive about getting to know your business and your sector.
Your Atradius Account Manager will try to meet up with you or you and your broker as often as possible. We encourage face-to-face meetings as these meetings have proven to be an optimal way to build help solidify our relationship – rather than just by email or the phone.
Your business and its needs are at the center of our focus. It’s the responsibility as your Account Manager to fight in your corner, helping you to grow your business through a positive trade environment. This might involve negotiating on your behalf with the buyer’s underwriter to obtain the level of cover required, or even by building relationships with the wider business community to support you.
Risk Services
Bernard Conaway
Manager – Risk Services, North America
How we work with you
Our business is built on providing the very best level of support for our policy holders.
What can you expect from Risk Services?
Risk underwriters are responsible for assessing and approving our exposure to risk. They are experts in their respective industry sectors, customers and market.
Our Risk services team is always reviewing new financial information provided to stay on top of any development. They also spend time talking directly to you and your buyers discussing details on credit limits or general market conditions.
During the life of your policy, you will be often in contact with one of our Risk services team members, by phone or in person. We strive for a quick answer time since we understand that a fast and clear decision is important to you.
Sometimes underwriters can't approve a credit limit you requested. Should this ever happen, it will be our priority to explain their decision clearly. This will also help you when making decisions on trading with particular buyers.
Claim Services
Laura Starck
Sr. Claims Examiner | Atradius US
How we work with you
Our business is built on providing the very best level of support for our policy holders.
What you can expect when you make a claim?
Our goal is to make sure you get your claim paid promptly. We have deadlines and aim to finalize a claim within 30 days of receiving all of the paperwork. The average amount of time it takes us to settle a claim in the US is usually about 14 business days.
We also work within the policy timeframes, which allows time for our Collections colleagues to recover defaulted payments. A defaulted claim would be ready for a payment six months after the invoice becomes due.
Each Claims Examiner looks after their own customers and handles all of their claims from submission to completion. This allows them to get to know you, both as a person and as a business with individual needs.
Our customers take out insurance with us so that their business is protected against loss and non payment due to the actions of others. When we settle a claim, it feels good to know that we have helped to protect our customer's accounts receivable and have possibly even saved their business from bankruptcy.
