Aim is to keep the premium at an attractive level with numerous options, such as pluriannual insured amounts, “Top Up” and other innovative solutions.

TSB GLOBAL target market are those large and medium-sized companies that consider the traditional credit insurer services to be “expensive”, “administratively heavy” and “commercially restritictive”. Companies that have their own trade finance management and that cannot find an adequate insurance solution for the protection of their balance sheet. The sums insured and the deductibles are determined by the insured following his internal priorities.

  • Portfolio excess of loss coverage.
  • “Top-up” or “Excess-Credit” insurance (designed for insureds whose insurance needs on an individual debtor exceed the capacity provided by their primary insurance carrier).
  • Flexible structures for MNC’s and conglomerates.
