For UAE exporters, offering competitive payment terms to foreign buyers can open doors to new markets. However, financing these transactions often comes with risks. Etihad Credit Insurance’s Buyer Credit Insurance provides a comprehensive solution that benefits exporters, banks, and buyers by reducing financial risks and ensuring smooth transactions.

What is Buyer Credit Insurance?

Buyer Credit Insurance covers loans provided by UAE banks to foreign buyers for the purchase of UAE-origin goods or services.
