Buyer Credit Insurance

Buyer Credit Insurance

​This product protects banks and financial institutions providing buyer credit financing from the risk of non-payment. The lending bank gets an insurance policy from the Saudi EXIM bank, which then compensates the bank if the importer defaults. Saudi EXIM bank recovers the amount from the defaulting importer and shares a portion with the lending bank or financial institutions, after deducting fees and costs.
