Atradius’ Japan Desk in Vietnam

Vietnam remains a fast growing country with an average growth rate of 6%-8% per year and continues to attract foreign direct investment with the majority of that coming from Asian countries with Japan being one of the top five foreign investors to date. As a result, Atradius’ Japan Desk was established to serve Japanese businesses operating in Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia.

The Japan Desk works closely with all of Atradius’ offices throughout Southeast Asia to develop a unique service offering for these Japanese corporates based outside of their home country.

What is Trade Credit Insurance?

Trade credit insurance protects you against the risk of your customers not paying you when trading within Vietnam or abroad.  For example, if your business supplies goods or services to other companies on credit terms, trade credit insurance can protect against the losses incurred as a result of failing to collect payment from your customers. This can be due to their business becoming insolvent or even no fault of their own, such as political or economic problems.

As well as offering a safety net against the risk of non-payment, your Credit Insurance Policy can also help your business grow by gaining a competitive advantage in your market. You can benefit from our insights into companies worldwide to help you identify both opportunities and risks and explore markets that you may not have entered without the protection that trade credit insurance provides.

Our partners benefit from our team of underwriters, located around the world, specialising in analysing the credit risks of millions of businesses. Should your customers' financial circumstances change, you will be made aware to take appropriate actions in a timely fashion. You may, for example, wish to offer them more favourable credit terms if their credit ratings improve or reduce credit terms if their credit ratings are not so good.

This information about your customers’ buyer ratings is supplied automatically via an online portal, which you will have access to as part of your insurance policy with TMIV or BV.

Credit insurance can help with your cash flow, as well as providing a range of benefits including:

  • Increased access to finance, as we can provide your bank with the reassurances it needs when extending finance to you
  • A reduction in your bad debt provision and, in turn, a healthier balance sheet
  • The confidence to seek out new markets and customers, and benefit from the growth this may bring
