Peace of mind when you pay in advance for goods or services.

Advanced Payment Protection

What is Advanced Payment Protection?

 

When you enter new markets, you may find it necessary to pay in advance.
Do you know what happens if you had to pay but the goods and services were then not delivered?

Are you sure your payment will be returned?

Advance Payment Protection has been designed to give you confidence when making deposits or up-front payments, that you will get your money back.

 

How does it work?

Identify the risk
Select all your suppliers who require payment in advance.
Credit limit calculated
We calculate a credit limit for each supplier which is the maximum value we will indemnify if payment is not made.
Make advance payment
Follow the terms of the contract and monitor the supplier, tracking due dates for delivery of goods and services.
Identify the loss
Request a refund of advance payment when goods or services are not delivered.
Make a claim
Provide us with the details if the supplier refuses and fails to refund the advance. If we cannot recover the debt we will indemnify your loss.
