credit insurance

Debt repayment guarantee

Credit insurance protects lenders or sellers against the risk that borrowers or buyers won't pay what they owe.

Banks purchase it to cover loan defaults; businesses use trade credit insurance to guard against customers failing to pay invoices.

The exporter required credit insurance before shipping goods to the new client.
