Financial Institutions, Multilateral & Governmental Agencies

We are committed to partnering with financial institutions, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises on everything from individual credit transactions to large portfolios to create tailored solutions to help you do what you do best.

Individual Credit Transaction
We offer coverage for single-risk credit transactions against non-payment by the obligor. This can be used to support one-off transactions that may be unusual or challenging due to internal aggregation constraints or to support bespoke structures crafted for the specific needs of the transaction or sector. Wordings are matched to the particular risk to provide prompt payment in the event of a covered loss.

Portfolio Coverage
We are able to cover multiple credit transaction obligations in the event of non-payment losses. This coverage can be customised to help manage exposure aggregations to cover losses to a portfolio within certain parameters including timing and loss sizes. This approach allows for significant exposures and potential fiscal burden to the taxpayer to be mitigated, with the option to modify and enhance coverage over time.

Capacity
Up to 20 years per policy
