How does credit insurance work?

The process of contracting credit insurance in BBVA is done through the company Solunion and the steps are as follows:

Procedures at the start of the insurance period:

You must send the company a list of all customers to whom you sell on credit (annual sales statement). If your customers are from another country, the credit insurance has international coverage, so you should also include them. The Company will classify them according to solvency criteria and assign them a coverage limit.

Procedures during the annual period:

As you add new customers on credit to your portfolio, you must request coverage from the Company.

The Insurer will monitor the portfolio of your debtors during the year, and therefore there may be variations in the credit limits of the debtors. The company will notify you of any changes to coverage.

You can also request from the Company modifications to the credit limit in force for your debtors during the annual period.

Procedures at the end of the annuity:

Depending on the product chosen, the actual sales on credit of the annuity must be communicated or not, for their adjustment.
