A Guide to Credit Insurance

December 30, 2017

In the face of ongoing uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economic recovery, including the unpredictability of budgetary decisions in Congress, continued high unemployment and weak consumer demand, the Eurozone crisis, and ongoing tumult in the Middle East, the domestic and international economic climate is still very risky. This change and unpredictability require more vigilance from our business leaders. A trade credit insurance policy, if used properly, provides a valuable extension to a company’s credit management practices – a second pair of objective eyes when approving buyers, as well as an early warning system should things begin to decline so that exposure can be effectively managed.

whitePaper | April 21, 2022

Progress in the areas of robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) continues to define a new era of automation in finance. In the last decade, one such focus area for many financial organisations has been automating and modernising key back-office processes like reconciliations.

Embedded insurance: Building customer-centric insurance distribution using APIs

whitePaper | November 14, 2022

We all know buying insurance is hardly a gratifying experience, especially when there are several policy options available in the market. Widespread digital innovation has made it convenient for consumers to connect with an infinite number of insurers, in different ways. This is wonderful, but it also means the selection and buying process has been extended and is getting overly complicated. A DIY approach of selling insurance through agents or just relying on website sales results only in spaghetti integrations. Insurers are working collaboratively with an ecosystem of partners to cater to underserved markets, gain access to new customer segments, and increase brand recognition as well as cross-selling opportunities while building a foundation for customer lifetime value.
