TTP and ICISA launch a new guide to trade credit insurance

A beginner-friendly guide covering cover types, policy structures, underwriting, credit management, and claims.

Trade Treasury Payments (TTP) and the International Credit Insurance & Surety Association (ICISA) are pleased to announce the release of a new introductory guide to trade credit insurance.

We created this guide to offer a beginner-friendly foundation that helps those in the space to better understand the essential concepts, mechanics, and roles that shape the trade credit insurance market.

What’s Inside?

  1. What TCI does and why it matters

  2. Core types of cover

  3. How policy structures work

  4. How insurers assess buyers

  5. Credit management in practice

  6. The claims process explained

Richard Wulff, Executive Director at ICISA, said, “Nearly every business that trades on credit depends, directly or indirectly, on the protections that trade credit insurance provides. Many professionals encounter this discipline early in their careers without ever receiving a clear, structured introduction to what it is, how it works, and why it matters. This guide was created to fill that gap.”

Deepesh Patel, Managing Director at TTP, added, “We’re delighted to launch this guide in partnership with ICISA, which is only a starting point. It is designed to give emerging practitioners and those taking their first steps into the market a clear grounding so they can engage more fully with their credit insurer, broker, or internal teams, and so they can build upon this knowledge with more advanced materials when ready.”

Best regards,
