Credit insurance provides protection against financial loss due to default of debtors. This can be a cost effective tool to manage credit risk if it is structured correctly.
There is a perception that credit insurance is expensive. In reality it is never as expensive as losing one or two of your largest debtors due to bad debt. A policy needs to be structured correctly to ensure that it provides protection against material bad debt, whilst still being cost effective.
At Cinque we pride ourselves in providing clients with a tailored risk mitigation programme; this extends beyond traditional credit insurance policies to include risk transfer and structured self-insurance.
If you analyse a debtors book based on size, industry, diversity and historic bad debts, some books are better suited to self-insurance than traditional credit insurance. Self-insurance can be structured to mirror a traditional credit insurance policy, but with all the premiums accruing to the policy holder in the event of no bad debts. We have structured many self-insurance programs, most with a combination of self-insurance and traditional credit insurance.
Our in-country insurance solutions ensure that clients throughout Sub-Saharan Africa have access to our innovative services.

Credit assessments are an integral part of an effective credit management solution and our unique web-based interface allows each assessment to be customised to fit our client’s industry, appetite for risk, and cost structures.
At Cinque we go beyond traditional credit vetting standards through our access to accurate trade data, client tailored scorecards, in-depth credit reports and consultation with experienced credit managers.
Many of the components which make up a comprehensive credit assessment have become commoditised, e.g. bank codes, CIPC data and judgements or adverse information. Being commoditised it should cost very little and be available almost instantaneously.
A truer reflection of a business’s ability to pay is the most recent payment trend on how that business has been paying its creditors. Through the extent of our market coverage, we have access to a large amount of trade data on a monthly basis.
We incorporate this into our credit assessments to greatly enhance the usability of our reports in decision making.
