Trade credit insurance from Atradius is a straightforward, cost effective and flexible way to ensure you get paid for goods and services you supply within the United States and abroad.
Trade credit insurance protects your business from bad debts. It insures your accounts receivable and protects your business from unpaid invoices caused by customer bankruptcy, political risks, or other specific reasons agreed upon with us.
Trade credit insurance is also sometimes known as debtor insurance, export credit insurance and accounts receivable insurance.
To keep things simple, we operate just one policy – Modula. Within this are a range of modules to suit your needs. Acting as ‘building blocks’ of cover, this allows us to create a detailed and bespoke policy for you, to reflect your individual trade exposures.
This can be particularly useful when operating several policies to cover your different customers or markets.
Modula allows for varying levels of risk and need between customers to be clearly identified and differentiated. Providing a single policy promotes standardization and clarity, while the individual modules allow for a custom fit and a policy suited to each individual need.
Further benefits of our Modula system include:

Trade cedit insurance from Atradius is a straightforward, cost effective and flexible way to ensure you get paid for goods and services you supply within the United States and abroad.
Our Trade Credit Insurance helps protect you from losses that may be caused by the failure of a customer to pay an invoice through insolvency, or their refusal or inability to pay under the terms of a contract.
How much does credit insurance cost?
The cost of your credit insurance policy is calculated as a percentage of your turnover combined with the level of risk. The greater the risk, the higher the premiums. Credit insurance usually costs between 0.1% and just over 1.0%. That means on a typical policy our customers pay between 10 and 15 cents for every $100 we insure.
Most of our customers pay their premiums on a monthly basis and renegotiate the policy at the end of their insured year.
In the current economic environment, peace of mind is a good reason for credit insurance! We give you the security of knowing that your receivables are protected.
Lenders recognize that the insolvency of a company’s key customer may jeopardize repayment of a loan. Credit insurance reduces this risk and may result in more favorable lending terms.
Credit insurance may enable you to sell more goods on credit terms while substantially reducing the overall risk of exposure to nonpayment. It also may enable you to take advantage of peak and cyclical selling periods and to safely expand into new product lines or territories.
Generally, it is recognized that 20% of a firm’s buyers account for 80% of sales. Credit insurance protects against the catastrophic loss resulting from the insolvency of one of those key accounts.
No! The policy is flexible and can be tailored to fit your specific needs. It can cover your entire portfolio or only your largest key accounts...those which would create a catastrophic loss for your company if they became insolvent. You make the decision.
Your policy covers many loss situations, ranging from bankruptcy to uncollectible accounts.
Although some companies have chosen to self-insure in the past, doing so now may cost you more. Under a number of tax codes, businesses can no longer use the bad debt reserve method of accounting to determine tax deductions. On the other hand, credit insurance premiums are tax deductible, allowing you to put the cash you now have in reserves to better use.
Atradius is one of the largest credit insurance companies in the world. We offer exceptional products with a high level of experience that can give you the confidence of long-term financial stability. Together with our world class partners, Atradius extends a large reinsurance capacity and direct access to more than 240 million buyers worldwide.
