Debtor Insurance (Trade Credit Insurance)

Debtor insurance, also known as trade credit insurance, protects companies against the risk of non-payment by buyers in domestic and international trade transactions.

When to Use Debtor Insurance

  • Regular or repeat buyers
  • Open-account trading
  • Multiple customers or markets
  • Long-term commercial relationships
  • Improving balance sheet stability

When to Use a Letter of Credit

  • New or unknown buyers
  • High-value transactions
  • Higher-risk countries
  • One-off or infrequent shipments
  • When banks require documentary security

Combined Use (Best Practice)

  • LC for new or higher-risk buyers
  • Debtor Insurance for recurring trade and portfolio protection

This approach balances security, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
