What is Trade Credit Insurance?

Trade Credit Insurance (TCI) is a risk management tool that protects your business against financial losses arising from a customer's failure to pay for goods or services delivered on credit terms.

When you sell on credit — whether domestically or internationally — you face the risk that your buyer may default due to insolvency, protracted default or political risks. TCI ensures your receivables are protected so your cash flow remains stable.

In Malaysia, Trade Credit Insurance policies are issued by locally licensed insurance companies with reinsurance support and capacity provided by Allianz Trade — the world's leading trade credit insurer, formerly known as Euler Hermes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What percentage of my invoice is covered?
Trade Credit Insurance typically covers between 80% to 95% of the outstanding invoice value, depending on the policy terms. The exact indemnity percentage is agreed upon at policy inception.
How long does it take to get a policy?
For straightforward cases, a policy can typically be set up within 2 to 4 weeks. More complex cases involving multiple buyers or export markets may take longer. Contact us and we will guide you through the process.
Does TCI cover all my buyers?
Coverage is subject to the insurer approving credit limits for each buyer. The insurer will assess each buyer's financial health and assign a credit limit. Transactions within the approved limit are covered.
Can I get TCI for export sales only?
Yes — you can choose to cover export receivables only, domestic receivables only, or both. We will help you structure the right policy based on your specific needs.
How does TCI help with bank financing?
A Trade Credit Insurance policy can be assigned to your bank as collateral, enabling you to access better financing terms and higher credit facilities — since your receivables are now insured assets.
What is the minimum premium for TCI?
Premium is calculated based on your annual turnover, industry, buyer profile and coverage structure. There is generally a minimum premium threshold. Contact us for a personalised quotation.
