Credit Insurance – Single Situation
Crum & Forster specializes in Credit Insurance and other risk financing solutions. Often referred to as “accounts receivable” or “failure to pay” insurance, Credit coverage is structured to protect valid and enforceable debt obligations against the risk of non-payment.
Credit Insurance is a vital credit management strategy, offering balance sheet protection and particularly for banks, balance sheet optimization. Through our U.S. admitted Credit Insurance platform and strategic partnership with the Nexus Group, we can address a full range of credit risks in North America, as well as risk-based eligible domiciles with a focus on G-7 located exposures.

Single Situation Solutions
Credit Insurance is underwritten for a single debtor, owing monies to the insured. This encompasses the sales of goods or services from an insured seller, as well as amounts owing to a financial institution with regard to the financing of a project or other forms of bank obligations.
Our highly experienced Credit team is active in insuring bank-to-bank obligations, allowing the insured financial institution to increase its exposure to acceptable banks. Coverage is available for both short- and medium-term tenors.
For details, contact Donald.Asadorian@cfins.com.
Credit Financing Strategies
Financial institutions may leverage credit financing strategies, including, but not limited to, the confirmation and refinancing of letters of credit, bilateral trade loans, participation in international syndications and prepayment of export financing.
Credit Insurance can be underwritten on private obligors, as well as public sector sovereign and non-sovereign entities.
