About ICBA
Founded in 2000, the ICBA is the second largest independent group of Trade Credit Insurance Brokers in the world.
Our purpose? To find the best Broker in each country so clients can benefit from a truly global- meets- local service regardless of their location and the country they’re considering exporting to. ICBA Broker Partners are chosen because they are top ranking in their country, more often than not, the business owner. Broker Partners must demonstrate their strong local relationships with the Senior Risk Underwriters and wholeheartedly embrace the ICBA philosophy of working together as one team.
We’re light on bureaucracy, high on team work.
The ICBA team comprises open minded people with expertise in their countries – willingly giving their knowledge and exchanging experiences to benefit clients.
We now have 50 Broker Partner countries in 5 continents. 900 Brokers providing Trade Credit and Political Risk Insurance solutions plus other relevant business services. We also have 18 correspondents in additional countries.
When the ICBA formed in 2000, the powerhouses of trade were 5 big European countries. Today the biggest trade footprint is in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Two thirds of ICBA Partners are outside Europe, working in established and emerging markets.
There are significant exporting opportunities for businesses to export but the lack of grass roots local knowledge and market conditions in the country under consideration can mean decisions are delayed or taken based on an incomplete picture. ICBA Broker Partners are best placed to provide accurate and up to date intelligence and market research for clients. On the strength of this, a client can make well informed decisions and be supported by a Trade Credit Insurance Policy that underpins export plans.
Time and time again the ICBA proves itself to be the leading expert in the market. ICBA specializes in the Trade Credit Insurance sector. It has the highest level of knowledge; it understands from the perspective of the Underwriter the need to tailor Trade Credit Insurance for each market, each country. It thinks outside the box.
The ICBA remains a giant in the arena of Trade Credit Insurance. We live in a world where people are increasingly being replaced by machines but there will always be a need for people to solve problems, to discuss opportunities and to listen. We have that expertise and that listening ear.
