Working with you

Credit management for multinational businesses

We know from experience that working with our customers as one team leads to the best outcomes for everyone. It seems obvious, but mutual understanding leads to well-informed decisions - and well-informed decisions lead to successful trading outcomes.

We’re dedicated to supporting multinationals. We’ve been doing it for over 25 years, learning what truly works through our close working partnerships with customers, and fine-tuning our offering to develop the best possible support. That includes:

  • Specialised expertise in structuring global trade credit insurance programmes of all shapes and sizes so it’s simple, streamlined and highly effective for you.
  • Tailor-made service models driven by your needs - not ours.
  • Deep geopolitical and sector-specific knowledge and understanding.
  • A fully joined-up approach – our single P+L means we work as one team, globally.
  • A dedicated team that includes analysts and key account underwriters, so we get to know you inside out.

Kathryn Dobbs

Senior Account Manager, UK

I’m your main point of contact, making sure you receive a seamless service from us, right round the world.

Helena Sothmann

Senior Underwriter, Finland

I’m the link between you and our local underwriting teams, ensuring the highest possible cover and consistency across your portfolio. I’ll be delivering the best possible service and cover through a detailed knowledge of your internal processes and policy conditions (AFL, DCL etc.), as well as your key customers, key customers countries and your trade sector.

This detailed knowledge of your business means I’ll keep our risk appetite on your portfolio as high as it can be, especially for your key buyers – I’ll have authority to overrule decisions made by local buyer underwriters and a second view on zero and partial decisions, taking into account the knowledge of your credit management and your relationship with your customers. I’m your point of reference on all credit limit issues and I’m always happy to discuss rationale for decisions if you’d like to, too.

My promise: I’ll always put myself in your shoes when processing credit limit applications.

Credit insurance is an important business tool for us. Without credit insurance it would be more difficult to expand in markets where we have less knowledge or experience. The business intelligence that Atradius shares with us helps us manage our credit processes and ongoing relationships with our insured customers.
