A trade credit product which combines ‘ground-up’ cover with non-cancellable credit limits.
What is AIG Trade+ ?
Trade+ trade credit insurance combines ground up cover with non-cancellable limits. Delivering credit limit certainty, minimising policy administration and speeding up the claims process, it also offers tremendous opportunities to insurance brokers.
Ground up
For those companies not willing, or able, to take a Risk Share on their trade credit insurance, “ground up cover” is an ideal solution.
Non-cancellable
Traditionally, ground up cover is only available with cancellable credit limits, so underwriters can remove cover at any time during the Policy period
5 good reasons to consider Trade+
Credit limit certainty
With Trade+, credit limits are calculated for each buyer using either real time payment data from the policyholder’s accounting software or by an AIG underwriter. This means Trade+ can deliver rapid and consistent credit limits that match policyholders’ requirements.
Simplified administration
It is common practice for trade credit insurers to require policyholders to complete a monthly return of overdue accounts. Trade+ does this automatically, on a real-time ongoing basis, saving policyholders time and providing them with the latest up-to-date buyer information.
Discretionary limits
Trade+ means less work for policyholders. They don’t have to do any of their buyer analysis themselves to set discretionary limits, so when there’s a claim they don’t have to justify any of their buyers’ credit limits, it is already done it for them.
Policy management
The system also highlights which accounts should be placed on stop helping ensure policy compliance. Trade+ includes debtor profiling, automatic reporting, automatic alerts and pre-populated claims forms; all of which are designed to reduce the time policyholders spend managing their policy.
Easy set-up
Trade+ is easily set up with a simple uploaded excel file of the policyholder’s Accounts Receivables data. There are no additional up-front payments as the platform costs are included in the insurance premium.
