Private credit insurance covers exporting companies against a possible default by a foreign customer.
Your situation
You are an Austrian company and have delivered goods to a foreign customer, but your customer has not paid. You can cover your company against this possibility, in advance, through OeKB or its subsidiaries.
Our service: Covering your receivables!
In the case of export transactions for which default insurance has been taken out, OeKB or ACREDIA Versicherung AG, a 51 percent subsidiary of OeKB, will indemnify you in the event of payment defaults.
The enforcement of claims can be a long, drawn-out process, particularly in difficult markets with different legal systems. This is where we step in to ensure that you get your money quickly.
Small bad debts, big consequences:
An unpaid invoice of €12,000 doesn’t look especially bad at first glance. But if you’re aiming for your business to generate a margin of three percent, you’ll need an additional €400,000 in sales to cover the loss.
Private or public credit insurance?
Whether OeKB or ACREDIA insures your claims depends on a number of criteria.
| OeKB | ACREDIA |
|---|---|
| Mainly individual risks with long terms, also large outstanding amounts |
