Allianz Commercial is part of one of the world's strongest financial services groups and the world’s #1 insurance brand. When you partner with us, you partner with Allianz Group — and its sister companies.

Through Allianz Trade, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions for managing commercial credits between companies. Allianz Trade is the global leader in trade credit insurance and a recognized specialist in the areas of surety, debt collection, fraud insurance, structured trade credit and political risk.

Allianz Trade gives companies the confidence to trade, and be paid: They compensate your company in the event of a bad debt, but more importantly, they help you avoid bad debts in the first place.

Whenever Allianz Trade provides trade credit insurance, surety bonds or other finance solutions, the priority is on predictive protection. Its international surveillance network monitors and analyzes the financial stability of 83 million companies across all sectors in 160+ countries. And when the unexpected happens, their AA credit rating (Standard and Poor’s) means they have the resources to provide compensation to maintain your business.

We will consider every risk on its own merit. Capacity and coverage offered to individual clients subject to hazard, Nat Cat exposure, grading, terms & conditions.
